The Nobili Mania in matt black is the most affordable way into this Italian-made range, and the boldest looking. The matt lacquer is a genuinely flat, non-reflective black rather than a dark grey, so it reads as a deliberate statement against a light worktop and disappears politely against a dark one.
It is a tall swan neck monobloc — 380mm high with a 221mm reach — so there is real room underneath for filling pans and washing baking trays. The single lever controls flow and temperature together, and the swivel spout covers a double bowl.
Nobili reaches the UK through Howdens, who sell only to trade account holders. We hold the account, so you can buy this tap without one.
Please check before ordering: this is a mains-pressure tap, rated 1-5 bar, and is not suitable for a gravity-fed or low-pressure supply. It needs a single 50mm tap hole and a deck no thicker than 45mm.
A note on the finish name: our trade paperwork calls this simply Black. Nobili and Howdens both specify it as Matt Black — colour black, finish matt — which is what we have listed it as.
