BLANCO has developed a matching sink and tap pairing that it says treats the kitchen as an extension of the living space, combining clean lines, functional innovation and tactile materials.
The OOVALON sink and LUNEOO-S tap were conceived as one design story rather than two separate fittings, an oval basin matched with a cylindrical tap, and both received a German Design Award 2026 and an iF Design Award 2026.
Tap control moves to a side unit
The LUNEOO-S tap has a slender cylindrical body intended to bring a sculptural element to the kitchen. Its most distinctive feature is a side control unit that replaces the conventional lever, a change BLANCO says redefines water control; the unit can be positioned beside, behind, in front of, or to the left or right of the sink, using an interface the company describes as intuitive and seamless.
The dual-spray head is held magnetically and paired with a flexible braided hose for what BLANCO describes as enhanced precision and reach. The CHOICE LUNEOO-S variant turns the tap into a six-in-one drinks station delivering chilled, still and sparkling water and boiling hot water alongside standard hot and cold supply. The system is driven by the CHOICE.All unit installed in the sink cabinet, and the free BLANCO UNIT app covers CO₂ level alerts, filter changes and personal settings. Both tap versions come in black matt, satin gold and satin dark steel.
Sink surface and floating work grid
The OOVALON sink uses an oval form and is offered in mystic black and cloud white for undermount installation. BLANCO presents it as a designer piece rather than a purely functional basin. It is made from VELGRANIT, which BLANCO describes as its latest material innovation: the surface is said to feel as velvety as sea-polished stone while remaining durable. Heat resistance is rated to 300°C, and a BLANCO PROTECTION SHIELD is claimed to resist limescale, fading and acidic substances, with fingerprints said to stay invisible and maintenance described as simple.
OOVALON's CapFlow consists of a high-quality metal top grid that adds a practical work surface, designed to appear to float above the basin and to fit into the overall form. The BLANCO UNIT pairs tap and sink with an optimised system inside the sink cabinet that integrates storage and technology, which the company says supports efficiency and organisation in any kitchen.
Design rationale
Marcel Moritz, BLANCO's head of global design and innovation, said the more the team explored the kitchen as a living space, the more it found that a softer, more fluid shape could bring warmth and approachability without losing clarity. The company frames the pairing as a continuation of a century-long effort to break boundaries in form and function. Pricing and market availability were not disclosed.
