May, 2009 -- Announcing the company's largest NorthAmerican faucet design initiative in 25 years, Franke VP Marketing and Product Development Charles F. Lawrence said today, "Starting this Spring, there willnow be a Franke faucet to go with virtually every sink in Franke's deep and widerange from Traditional through Transitional and Contemporary." Lawrence pointed to this latest evidence of his company's commitment to innovation as a benefit and byproduct of Franke's status as a privately held company immune from the caution bred by daily stock market fluctuations.
In response to research findings on America's taste for the traditional, Franke's new Farm House Faucets come to market as their broadest and most complete introduction ever, launching with an entiref amily of styles and finishes. The group includes side sprays with levers or optional cross handles, pull-downs, a pull-out and bar/prep faucets, all in a choice of Franke's new Old World Dark Bronze as well as Polished Chrome and Satin Nickel finishes. Accessories to complement the Farm House Faucets include soap dispensers and air gap covers, available in Chrome and Satin Nickel.
Franke's Farm House Faucet
Franke's distinctive Old World Dark Bronze Finish with its hand applied brush patterns makes each faucet unique and provides the perfect complement to Franke Fireclay Farm House Sinks and the ideal contrast for light granite surfaces. The design family features extra heavy, solid brass construction throughout and is supplied with hoses that facilitate direct connection to most common supply valves.
Franke introduced the pull faucet category to the US and keeps that tradition of innovative design leadership alive with a dozen new Transitional and Modern designs. The FFPS700 is one example Franke's new pull faucet designs. And in a welcome blend of creativity and attractive pricing Franke introduces the FFPS200. This new version of the classic FF200 combines a one-piece body is 20% taller witha price tag that remains completely unchanged!
