Kartell call it “effortless sophistication” with “timeless character”, and that is the right idea: it is not a reproduction period tap, but it is not a hard-edged contemporary one either. It sits comfortably in a modern bathroom and equally well in an older house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003emono basin mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e: a tall swan-neck spout on a single tap hole, \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete with a click waste\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe swivel spout\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnusual on a basin tap — \u003cstrong\u003ethe spout swivels\u003c\/strong\u003e, so you can push it aside to fill a jug, wash your hair under it, or clean the bowl without working around a fixed spout. Handy on a larger basin. The trade-off is that a spout which moves can also be knocked out of position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe height is worth checking too: a swan-neck sits tall, so make sure there is clearance under a mirror or shelf behind the basin.
