{"product_id":"kartell-nero-curve-mono-basin-mixer-tap290cn","title":"Kartell K-VIT Nero Curve Mono Basin Mixer Matt Black (TAP290CN)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kartell K-VIT \u003cstrong\u003eCurve Nero\u003c\/strong\u003e range is the matt black version of Curve — a bold curved spout arcing out of a clean, slightly angular body. In black it reads as a deliberate design choice rather than something that blends in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003emono basin mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it comes \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete with a matching black clicker waste\u003c\/strong\u003e — worth noting, because a chrome waste in a black basin spoils the effect and buying one separately costs around £25.\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 body of the same height — more room to get your hands under, and water landing nearer the middle of the basin than the back. The trade-off is that it needs more space in front of the tap hole, so on a very shallow basin the outlet can sit close to the front edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLiving with matt black\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe honest part. \u003cstrong\u003eMatt black shows limescale and water spotting far more than chrome\u003c\/strong\u003e, particularly in a hard water area — white marks stand out against a dark surface where they'd disappear on a shiny one. It wants wiping dry after use to look its best.
