So, what makes Pronteau Scandi-E by Abode a worthy winner?
Designed with 4 IN 1 functionality and patented HotKey® sensor technology, Pronteau Scandi-E offers a striking monobloc silhouette with real Beechwood handles, filtered cold push button and three trend finishes, Matt White, Matt Black and Scandi Grey. Extremely safe to operate, Scandi-E is a risk-free way to experience instant hot water on demand thanks to the integrated sensor technology. Controlled via a discreet HotKey® fob, a proximity sensor hidden inside the body of the tap detects when the HotKey® is near, which activates the boiler to pump steaming hot water through a separate central channel to the spout. Without it, the tap becomes an ordinary 3-way mixer.
Multigenerational too, HotKey® is great for anyone with dexterity difficulties or conditions like arthritis, as users can avoid pushing down, turning or sliding in order to trigger the water flow. Supplied with premium water optimisation filter, Pronteau Scandi-E offers 1500L capacity with bypass function, so users can set the filter to match the hardness of water in their area. Every tap within the collection also features cold start valve technology to decrease the home’s energy waste, and Laminar steaming hot water flow aerator, which delivers instant steaming hot water at a safe 2l/m for optimal cup filling.
For the first time, UK customers can experience filtered cold and steaming hot water from a tap, which is designed in the same style as their Scandi-inspired décor. Image shows the Pronteau Scandi-E 4 IN 1 instant hot water tap in Scandi Grey (PT1045) by Abode, £1249.
The SBID International Design Awards were accredited straight to GOLD standard by The Independent Awards Standards Council in 2019, and are the first interior design awards scheme to be accredited at this level. Firmly established as one of the greatest accolades in the global design community, award-winners gain a level of industry recognition which is second to none.
