Modern shaker style kitchens have become a mainstay in recent years, driven by the Cottagecore trend, which is rooted in a desire for simplicity and nostalgia. Key to this design are pieces that evoke rustic charm and vintage allure. Reflecting this ethos, Franke has unveiled the Heritage Collection of classically styled taps and accessories, providing retailers with a broader range of design options.
Modern Meets Timeless
The Heritage Collection offers a range of taps and accessories that merge the modern manufacturing technologies, for which Franke is renowned, with timeless design elements. With features including ceramic handles, vintage scrolls in the plinth and aerator styling meticulously crafted to complement the bevelling found in classic cabinetry, these taps embody the essence of Cottagecore.
The taps are crafted to perfectly complement traditional Belfast sinks, while also pairing beautifully with stainless steel and Fragranite models, allowing for a mix-and-match approach to create an eclectic, classic-contemporary aesthetic.
Design Choice
The Heritage Collection comprises seven tap styles, including four brand new Gloriana Classic models as well as the Cotswold, Orlando and Gloriana taps from Franke’s existing portfolio. From twin lever to bridge lever and side lever to 3 part-set designs, every tap in the collection offers homeowners a touch of timeless beauty for their kitchens.
Metallic Elegance
The Heritage Collection is available in a choice of finishes to complement various kitchen aesthetics.
A highlight of the collection is the new Polished Nickel finish, which has been created to complement a wide range of kitchen styles. It combines a bright silver base with signature pale gold undertones to add a distinctive, warm and luxurious depth.
Other finishes in the collection include the elegantly warm Brass, the sleek and modern Decor Steel and classic Chrome.
Perfect Pairings
Completing the collection are perfectly matched accessories, including the convenient Perla Pull-Out Rinse and the 500ml Augusta Soap Dispenser. Available in all four finish options, these classically styled accessories seamlessly enhance the Heritage Collection taps, providing both functionality and aesthetic cohesion.
Jo Sargent, sales and marketing director at Franke UK says: “The Heritage Collection gives us a more rounded portfolio and enables us to meet rising demand for classic designs in today’s kitchens. While Franke is renowned for our contemporary taps with modern technologies, we’re pleased to integrate these innovations into more traditional styles. This collection represents a harmonious blend of timeless elegance and modern craftsmanship, offering homeowners a range of elegant solutions that perfectly suit both traditional and classic-contemporary kitchens.
“This expansion provides retailers with a broader range of options to meet diverse customer preferences and tap into the growing market for classic designs.”
