The Talis E washbasin mixer, a winner at the recent International Forum Design Awards (iF), is designed to offer a fusion of form and function.

Made for wash basins, bidets, bathtubs and showers, the new Talis Select E mixers boast precise, natural shapes and come in a variety of heights to create plenty of space between spout and wash basin.

Talis Select E mixers can be operated using a finger, arm or elbow and the lever completely disappears.

A variety of different versions are available, such as a space-saving, concealed variant and a wall mounted option.

Seven other products made by Hansgrohe SE won iF awards at the event in Munich in February. An international jury of 58 experts assessed more than 5,000 entries from 53 countries in quality of design, workmanship, innovation, environmental compatibility and functionality.

The iF Design Award was granted to 1,821 products.

“We decided to consistently pursue a steady course of functional quality and good design before anyone else in our industry, and began collaborating with some of the world’s best designers, such as Philippe Starck, Antonio Citterio, Jean- Marie Massaud, Patricia Urquiola and Phoenix Design,” explains Philippe Grohe, vice president of Design Management at Hansgrohe SE.
