Faucet or jewelry?
The faucet handle is usually the last detail people consider, but the Italian faucet brand FIMA Carlo Frattini takes a different approach. The SO AQUA collection is built around control handles made of colored glass or walnut wood, where the color penetrates deep into the material and reflects through it - creating chromatic effects that change depending on the viewing angle. The collection separates temperature control from flow control, an approach that sharpens the user experience and improves water consumption efficiency. Price: From NIS 2,500, exclusive at HeziBank Dan Design Center.
Hidden from sight
A water dispenser taking up space on the countertop is not a solution for everyone. Strauss Water offers a convenient alternative: The entire tami4tap system is hidden under the sink, and all that is visible is a designed dispensing faucet installed next to the main tap. Behind the minimalist look lies Maze purification technology, an Italian-developed system that removes contaminants while preserving minerals, offering cold, hot, or room-temperature water. Price: From NIS 210 per month on a four-year plan, available via the Tami4 website.
Ceiling spa
Anyone who thinks a shower is just a faucet with a head has not encountered SERENITY SKY by the German brand Dornbracht. The system is integrated into the ceiling with no visible connections and offers five different flow modes - from enveloping rain to refreshing mist - some inspired by body and mind treatments. Integrated ambient lighting can also be added. The result is less of a bathroom, more of a private spa. From NIS 15,000, exclusive at HeziBank Dan Design Center.
The sink that steals the show
A white sink has always been the default in bathrooms. Villeroy & Boch offers a break from the routine with a countertop sink where white is only half the story: The interior is classic glossy white, but the exterior shell comes in refreshing colors with a glossy finish - a design detail that turns the sink into a defining element of the entire space. From NIS 4,300, exclusive at Negev Ceramics.
Refreshing
A decorative water container with a built-in tap, a perfect solution for hosting in the garden, picnics in nature, or upgrading the dining table. This is a decorative glass water dispenser with a four-liter capacity, equipped with an easy-to-use dispensing tap. The container allows aesthetic serving of cold drinks with lemon slices or mint, while keeping water accessible and available for the whole family. Price: NIS 20.90, available at Max Stock.
Protecting the oceans
There are many beautiful faucets. Faucets that clean the ocean - far fewer. The Mallorca series by Noken Porcelanosa Bathrooms, part of the Porcelanosa Group, combines luxury design with water and energy-saving technologies, and for every faucet sold, the brand commits to removing one kilogram of plastic from the ocean in collaboration with The Gravity Wave organization.
The series offers 64 combinations of textures and finishes and has won international design awards. If you can’t ignore the sinks, they come in lemongrass, sky blue, and sage green. Price: Faucets from NIS 692, sinks from NIS 1,416. Available at the Porcelanosa showroom, 4 Hachoshlim Street, Herzliya Pituach.
Water at the bar
Cold water from the fridge is nothing new. However, refrigerator water systems are evolving constantly and now offer not only water but also crushed ice - without any connection to a water line. The four-door refrigerator by Hisense includes a built-in external kiosk operating via a hidden 4.2-liter tank - a particularly convenient solution for kitchens where the tap is far from the fridge. Beyond the water bar, the refrigerator features Inverter technology that adjusts cooling power in real time and saves electricity. Price: NIS 10,900, HY Experience showroom, Medinat Hayehudim 60, Herzliya Pituach, and electrical stores.
Saves for you
In most faucets, the handle sits in a middle position, meaning both hot and cold water are used - even when all you need is to wash your hands. The SALJEN faucet by IKEA always starts with cold water and switches to hot only when the handle is deliberately moved. A small change in operating logic that saves money and unnecessary heating in everyday tasks - handwashing, brushing teeth, washing fruit. Available in black or chrome finish. Price: NIS 125, available at IKEA.
