The matt black Tessuto from Franke, with the squared L-shaped spout. At 332mm tall it sits comfortably under a window or wall unit where a swan-neck tap would foul, and the knurled texture on the body is what lifts it above an ordinary black mixer — it catches the light where the matt finish absorbs it.
This is a fixed-spout mixer rather than a pull-out, so there is no spray hose and less to go wrong. Single-lever control adjusts flow and temperature together with a quarter-turn action, and the spout swivels.
