Marco Venzano, a designer born in the Liguria region of Italy in 1980, developed a number of the Nobili taps that have been most popular among resellers and professionals in recent years, including Move (2014), Levante and Levante Kvadrat (2019).
The latest addition to the list is the Levante kitchen tap, paying homage to the designer’s homeland with a slender, elegant conical profile and an extended radius of action permitted by ergonomic design.
Ergonomic, universal: the Levante kitchen tap mixer adds a touch of true avant-garde style to the special version designed with Kvadrat of Denmark.
Levante Kvadrat is a mixer variant in which the flexible hose is covered with a special wool fabric to create a new soft effect. The Kvadrat covering is available in four trendy finishes, from titanium grey to matte black and from sparkly champagne to soft rosé.
Levante is 47 cm high and comes in the following finishes: Chrome, Stainless Steel, Diamond Smoke (dark chrome) and Velvet Black (matte black) with a coated stainless steel spring hose.
The Levante Kvadrat version is available in Titanium, Velvet Black, Champagne and Soft Rosé, with a flexible hose covered with braided fabric.
The key to the project is design creating a refined optical effect (the curve makes the flexible hose look like an ordinary spout), adding a surprise effect when the flexible hose is extended. The hand shower is in fact positioned opposite to the usual location of kitchen taps: instead of extending out of the spout, it comes off the mixer body, pivoting on its front. A hand shower that rotates 360° effectively doubles the range of action in the sink area when combined with mixer rotation. An intuitive gesture facilitated by the magnetic anchorage amplifies freedom of movement in the sink.
When the hand shower is picked up, the simple, focused filling jet can be converted into a more intense washing jet by simply clicking on the showerhead.
Reduced water consumption is guaranteed by the dynamic flow regulator and cold-water start of the full-immersion Nobili Widd®28 mm cartridge. The grip used to turn on or off the flow of water has a mechanism that stops when halfway open. Once this slight resistance has been overcome, the mixer is free to output all the available flow.
Like any other cartridge (and other internal component), Nobili Widd®28 mm is entirely designed and developed in R&S Nobili’s laboratories and covered by an international patent.
