BLANCO launches their latest finish for a sleek kitchen feel.
July 22nd, 2024
BLANCO, international connoisseur of the kitchen water-place, is back with a brand new finish. Evocative and elevated, “satin dark steel” brings a dramatic European aesthetic to one of the kitchen’s most under-utilised zones, promising to make every sink, tap, soap dispenser, and drainage component as sartorial as they are practical.
Over nearly a century of operations, BLANCO has celebrated the water-place as the hero feature of every kitchen, with their trademark BLANCO UNIT offering designers and end users unprecedented control over the design, materiality, and functionality of their products. Comprising sink, mixer tap, and waste management system, the BLANCO UNIT allows for curated customisation like never before, with a wide range of functions, colours, materials, and accessories ensuring unprecedented flexibility.

The launch of satin dark steel is the latest evolution for the BLANCO UNIT, adding to the brand’s finish library with a colourway etched in elegance and sophistication. Users can create a complete tonal look with a selection of sinks, taps and soap dispensers, along with the InFino waste and overflow set available in dark steel for a harmonised feel. Alternatively, colours and materials can be mixed and matched to create a more unique finish, with options ranging from metallic finishes such as satin gold and matt black, to solid and textural colours including the new Volcano Grey and Soft White, both of which are available in the SILGRANIT sink range.

BLANCO’s SILGRANIT range is an industry leader for a water-place material construction that is beautiful and tactile, while being safe for food preparation and easy to maintain. Velvety and stone-like to the touch, SILGRANIT is made from up to 80% quartz sand, making it a closed and nonporous option for every kitchen water-place. The patented material is robust, and long-lasting, and available for specification across the BLANCO UNIT in a range of rich colours.

By seamlessly blending different metal finishes and embracing the variety of SILGRANIT tones, customers can transform their kitchens into true masterpieces. The range embedded in the BLANCO offering ensures complete design narratives can be realised throughout a kitchen space, with benches, cupboards, lighting, and accessories all able to be tied into the water-place unit.

Whether sleek and tonal, or colourful and layered, the BLANCO range allows kitchens to become design meccas of any space. While preserving and enhancing the functionality of the water-place, launches like the satin dark steel finish ensures aesthetics can reign supreme, elevating the humble kitchen sink to a total design statement.
