10 Easy Pieces: Kitchen Faucets
December 23rd, 2007
From Julie and Janet:
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 a personal favorite (well priced, well engineered, with a great industrial-chic aesthetic).
Below: Vola Pillar Tap with Double Swivel Spout (KV8); $1020 at Designer Plumbing.
Below: Purus II Single-handle Kitchen Faucet from Blanco; $517 at faucet.com.
Below, L: Steam Valve Original Wall-Mounted Bridge Mixer with swivel spout; $945. View and find retailer at Hornbeam Ivy.

Love the website. Thank you, Yunak k. for sending. About these faucets, though, a separate spray faucet is very inefficient on all but the newest plumbing systems, and to waste water with these spigots is unconscionable. Am I wrong, missing something?

[…] Back in February, we included Steam Valve Original in our 10 Easy Pieces: Kitchen Faucets post. I keep coming back to its refined industrial look that fits equally well in a classic farmhouse or uber-modern kitchen. Solid stainless steel in a brushed or polished finish. Available through Taps and More, the US distributor of Steam Valve Original. […]

KWC makes a wonderful streamlined modern faucet with a pull out handle. The pull out part is built in in such a way that you do not notice it is a separate piece, but its very practical. Its the same faucet used in many Boffi kitchens, but online its a fraction of that price. http://store.irawoodinc.com/kwcsukifa.html
