A chrome tap with a vintage edge
If it wasn’t so shiny, we’d say it was an antique one! With a pretty porcelain handle and a rounded base reminiscent of a 50s look, this tap is actually from everyone’s favourite Swedish giant. Its pronounced spout hides a little pull-out hose, whilst its impressive height makes washing tall pans and vases a walk in the park. We can imagine pairing it with shaker-style cabinet fronts in matte lacquer and cup drawer handles for a completely welcoming, retro appeal.
