New Colors at Caressi Inspired by Market Feedback

The kitchen industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Listening to the needs of kitchen professionals and end users is crucial to this process. This year at area30, Caressi will demonstrate how it has translated valuable feedback into tangible product innovations with the official launch of three new Colour Line PVD finishes: Brass Patina, Deserto, and Tarnish.

You may remember this from your visit to Caressi last year. Several prototype shades were displayed side by side as an interactive feature of the booth. After experiencing and comparing the finishes, visitors were asked which shade they preferred. Three versions stood out head and shoulders above the rest, and these have since been developed into fully-fledged design concepts. This year, Caressi is once again offering visitors an exclusive first look at two new PVD colors currently being explored for the product line.

Atmospheric shades

Caressi is expanding its Quartz/Composite collection with Bisque and Ostrica, two new colors available on the CAGRPP40-TU, CAGRPP50-TU, CAGRPP40-FL, and CAGRPP50-FL sink models. In addition, Bisque will be available in a wider range of sink options, including 1.5-bowl models and versions with an integrated faucet base. Both Bisque and Ostrica sinks come standard with stainless steel basket plug sets. Since color coordination remains an important theme, Caressi is also introducing matching basket plug sets in Bisque and Ostrica, in addition to basket plug sets in select PVD colors—including Gun Metal, Copper, Gold, and Brass Patina—exclusively for this sink collection.

“The new MX series of sinks will offer kitchen professionals even more options,” adds Jesse Struis, sales manager at Caressi. “The CAPPMX40R20 and CAPPMX50R20 models have a 20 mm radius and, in addition to the Colour Line finishes Brass Patina, Deserto, and Tarnish, are also available in Stainless Steel, Gun Metal, Copper, and Gold.”

Faucets and Countertops

The roundup of new products isn’t limited to sinks. For example, the new CA1109 faucet builds on the popular design of the CA109 and features the refined, sleeker handle that has become a hallmark of the latest Caressi faucet collections. The new faucet is available in stainless steel, Black Line, White Line, and the PVD colors Gun Metal, Copper, and Gold.

The Kitchen Tops collection is being expanded with two new composite finishes: Argentino Travertino (velvet) and Vena Mist (polished). At area30, Caressi will also present new edge finishes, including the bullnose rounded edge finish, which will be offered alongside the existing flat edge finish. “The rounded bullnose edge creates a softer transition and a natural, contemporary look,” says Struis. “The flat edge finish maintains a sleek, minimalist, and architectural appearance.”

Practical Solutions

An extensive selection of kitchen accessories is a must at Caressi. “Design and functionality go hand in hand throughout the entire kitchen environment,” emphasizes Struis. “Solutions such as the CAPS power outlet, the CAMA mobile draining tray, the CACS insert tray, and the CAFDM foldable draining rack prove their practical benefits every day. And the LED lighting systems are also a must-have. The Orion, Skye, Vice, Fern, Lux, and Galaxy sets, available in stainless steel and the core PVD colors, are a beautiful addition to modern kitchen solutions.” Caressi is also treating its visitors to a special zone designed by its own DPS (Domestic Parts Service) division. Struis: “DPS is an integral part of Caressi and, in that role, is a trusted partner for the kitchen industry in the Netherlands and Belgium. In this zone, we’re showcasing the best-sellers from the DPS Installation Top 200 and the latest additions to our accessory line. In honor of DPS’s 50th anniversary, we’re putting them and their installation expertise in the spotlight.”
