The Background

Essence is an incredibly consistent collection, with every spout and lever identical across all product types. We have extended the award winning Essence range into the kitchen environments with a striking professionally inspired kitchen faucet. Essence Professional has been designed for the most serious cooking enthusiasts, those with elevated culinary techniques and high design expectations.

Design Concept

Essence Professional - modern lines and timeless grace, resulting in a pleasing understated yet elegant design aesthetic with highly professional function and benefits for the most demanding culinary enthusiasts.

The intent of the planning and development

In most kitchens, the faucet is used up to 90 times per day. In a culinary enthusiast’s kitchen, it’s used hundreds of times in more demanding ways. This led us to develop the following benefits:

• GrohFlexx 360° spray arm with a flexible easy clean Santoprene hose.
• Professional Spray - Metal housing with an integrated toggle to switch sprays.
• EasyDock M - A powerful integrated magnet for seamless docking of the spray head.
• Quality and Precision: Pure design for a culinary enthusiast.

Originality and ingenuity

Essence Professional is original in design due to its softened and humanized concentric geometry through the introduction of controlled organic transitions which seamlessly merge into the flexible U-shaped silicone hose. The fluid design provides a distinctive and unique appearance, defining a new sophisticated aesthetic direction which is suitable for the most demanding culinary enthusiast’s kitchen environment. With Essence Professional, we have relentlessly pursued the golden ratio of perfectly balanced proportions to give a timeless quality to the design. Essence merges professional features, with purity and modernity in a human way which helps it to remain sensual yet minimal.
