(Veronica Orsi, IFDM – 25/03/25) – The well-being of the home begins in the kitchen. From this conviction comes the vision of Franke Home Solutions, which has given shape to an integrated ecosystem designed to amplify the sense of safety and comfort in every domestic environment. Franke has thus expanded its collections to achieve ever higher standards in terms of hygiene, accessibility and functionality: the guarantee of clean surfaces, the growing attention to ergonomics and rational design thus meet the evolving needs of consumers to experience the home as a personal refuge.
Into this hygienic scenario comes the Active Twist mixer, an innovation that connects the mixer and sink by means of a special knob, allowing it to be emptied automatically. The laminar aerator facilitates cleaning, while the pull-out spray ensures maximum convenience, reaching every corner of the sink. The quality of the surfaces is also crucial: Fragranite, a unique combination of quartz and acrylic resin, offers a non-porous, scratch-resistant texture that is incredibly easy to clean, as demonstrated by the Maris sink.
Similarly, Franke’s stainless steel, made from a high-quality chromium-nickel alloy, guarantees resistance to stains, heat, corrosion and chemicals, making it perfect for bathtubs and kitchen sinks, particularly in the Mythos Masterpiece collection.
For complete domestic well-being, Franke combines ergonomics and functionality, offering complements, appliances and accessories designed to make the kitchen an intuitive, organised and versatile environment. Each element is designed to simplify everyday life.
The Mythos Water Hub mixer perfectly represents this philosophy, offering an innovative system that packs multiple functions into one compact and elegant design. Thanks to its advanced technology, it eliminates the need for additional devices, allowing you to obtain boiling, cold, room temperature or sparkling filtered water with just one touch.
For those who want the ultimate in organisation, Franke has developed the All-In system, a solution that transforms the sink into a true multifunctional workstation. It is a modular kit of accessories compatible with sinks up to 540 mm, designed to optimise every stage of food preparation. In its most complete configuration, it includes up to eight different elements designed to maintain order and functionality in the sink area. With the All-In system, every utensil is always at hand, ensuring a continuous workflow: from ingredient preparation and cooking to cleaning and tidying up.
Another example of intelligent design is the Box Center sink, which reinvents the organisation of space thanks to an idea that is as simple as it is effective: integrate the most important accessories directly into the basin, making them easily accessible at all times and guaranteeing a work surface that is always free and functional.
Franke hoods also respond to this vision, going beyond the simple function of extraction to become multifunctional furnishing elements. The Mythos T-Shelf island hood, for example, is designed with integrated shelves that offer extra space to place utensils, cookery books and decorative objects, making the cooking area even more practical and aesthetically harmonious. Similarly, the Maris Modular cooker hood introduces a system of storage compartments positioned above the hob, easily accessible and perfect for storing everything you need without sacrificing style.
