It's more of a design statement than the plain cylindrical ranges, without going as far as the fully square Pure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003emono basin mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e in polished chrome, and it comes \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete with a clicker waste\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat the curve actually does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond looks, an arced spout puts the outlet \u003cstrong\u003efurther forward over the bowl\u003c\/strong\u003e than a straight vertical body of the same height. That's genuinely useful — more room to get your hands under, and water landing nearer the middle of the basin rather than the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is that it needs a bit more space in front of the tap hole. On a very shallow basin the arc can put the outlet close to the front edge, so it's worth eyeing up your bowl depth before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for \u003cstrong\u003elow pressure systems\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it works on gravity-fed plumbing — a tank in the loft and a hot cylinder — as well as combi and mains pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLiving with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eceramic disc cartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e with quarter-turn operation gives full flow from a small movement of the lever, and is far less prone to dripping than a washer tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e0.73kg\u003c\/strong\u003e this is one of the lighter basin mixers Kartell make — less substantial in the hand than a heavier range, though the mechanism is the same throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAlso in matt black\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same design is made in matt black as \u003cstrong\u003eCurve Nero\u003c\/strong\u003e. Worth knowing before you choose: black shows limescale and water spotting far more than chrome, and must never see limescale remover.
