Best of 2007: 10 Easy Pieces Kitchen Faucets
From Julie:
Kitchen faucets: good ones are like sculpture for the kitchen; bad ones are enough to induce a deep depression. Worth investing in; scrimp somewhere else. You can’t go wrong with these picks. The Arne Jacobsen–designed Vola is the ultimate modernist classic; the Chicago is my own personal favorite (well priced, well engineered, with a great industrial-chic aesthetic).
1. Vola KV8 single feed tap; $720 from plumbtile.com
2. Purus II single-handle kitchen faucet from Blanco; $423 at faucet.com
