Sink, single control

LIGURIAN FLAVOUR
Levante is a semi-professional mixer tap: thanks to the magnetic support, it allows the hand shower to be picked up with one hand, simplifying operations at the sink counter. When the button on the hand shower is pressed, a shut-off valve blocks the aerator jet and allows water to exit as jet spray: once the button is released, the spray resumes independently from the aerator.
To complement the style of the most contemporary kitchens, Levante is available in several surface finishes: alongside Cromo polished - bright, timeless and capable of combining aesthetics with functionality - the mixer is also offered in Inox brushed, perfect for those who appreciate precision and minimalist sophistication, and Mora matt, able to bring depth and character to the space.

Born in the Liguria region of Italy in 1980, Marco Venzano graduated from Genoa University with a degree in Design in 2003. For Nobili, he has developed some of the kitchen taps most appreciated by retailers and professionals in recent years: the unusual operating system and the striking formal balance (both patented) of the Move and Levante taps (which pays homage to his homeland) enhance the experience in the kitchen environment, simplifying operations on the sink top. As creative director of the Nobili brand, he oversees design, communications, and marketing.
A view of the sea at Riomaggiore, in the heart of the Cinque Terre, a coastal stretch in one of Liguria's most beautiful Mediterranean areas. A sea with crystal-clear waters, beaches and jagged coastlines with unparalleled charm combine with paths that drop steeply on the horizon. In 1997, the Cinque Terre became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The control lever echoes the proportions of the mixer body: its elongated shape enhances ergonomics, making flow and temperature adjustment exceptionally smooth and effortless. Unique details enrich the design: the elegant double temperature indicator stripe is complemented by the exclusive “Levante” engraving on the side of the handle.
A pure, well-defined jet, commanded by the most spontaneous of motions of the lever, which, opening in cold water and suggesting a decreased flow by offering gentle resistance halfway through its travel, expresses a definite attitude toward the environment. Immediate and precise, it represents the most instinctive use of water in the washbasin.
It’s instant, a 360° love: the intuitive spirit of Levante suggests its comfort and convenience. The hand shower’s vast range of action, located in the opposite position to conventional mixers, and the ease with which it can be picked up with one hand thanks to its magnetic anchorage, permit total freedom of movement on the sink surface.
Revolve your idea of kitchen faucet! A movement that reveals an all-encompassing thought, extending the usable area of the work surface. An expressiveness that preserves its delicacy and offers us the enjoyable sensation of feeling like great chefs, in our own homes.
The bypass control on the hand shower, activated by the pressure of the hand, shifts the spray jet to help busy cooks in the kitchen: it allows you to clean the sink more quickly and rinse dishes and pots more effectively, especially stubborn residues.
Elegant conical body, ideal for kitchen islands: in Levante, the 360° adjustable hand shower (independent of the outlet spout, which also rotates 360°) is located at the rear of the mixer, in an opposite position compared to traditional sinks: once picked up, the front pivot centre doubles the radius of action, guaranteeing a previously unimaginable extension of the hose.
Austere and essential, the Inox brushed nuance offers a sober and modern beauty. A versatile finish, able to harmonize any space with balance, perfect for those who love rigor and minimalist refinement.
Soft and velvety, the Mora matt shade brings intensity and character to the space. An enveloping finish that interprets design with elegance and dark charm, enriching every architecture with style and sophistication.
A mixer created with the sea and nature in mind cannot fail to protect the environment. Opening the supply directly to cold water prevents the boiler from turning on and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, while the flow limiter brakes the opening of the lever, helping to reduce water waste.
In 1989, the Sunday Times made this the title of the lead article in its feature on Italian taste, “The Taste of Italy”. The world was falling in love with basil and its unique fragrance, dreaming of promontories over the sea, of the sound of breaking waves and the summer breeze... pesto is more than just a sauce: a flag recognised the world over as belonging to Italy, and to a region with totally different gastronomic traditions from the rest of northern Italy, telling a story of simplicity, passion and mastery and creating unique sensory experiences unmatched anywhere else in the world.
Rinse basil in cold water and place on a dish towel to drain. In the meantime, peel garlic and crush in a mortar with a few grains of coarse salt, aiming for a creamy consistency. Add pine nuts, basil leaves, and a few more grains of coarse salt, and grind with a gently rotary motion of the pestle, turning the mortar in the opposite direction, pulling it by its traditional “ears”. Add Parmigiano reggiano and Pecorino sardo, a bit at a time, while continuing to blend, and finally drizzle in the olive oil. Blend well to obtain a smooth sauce.
INGREDIENTS FOR 500 G "TROFIE"
Dop basil leaves, 50 g
Extra virgin olive oil, 100 ml
Parmigiano reggiano dop, 70 g
Pecorino sardo dop, 30 g
Garlic, 2 "spicchi"
Pine nuts, 15 g
Coarse salt, q.b.
For an excellent pesto, work the ingredients at room temperature and as quickly as possible: exposure to oxygen causes oxidation.
Levante comes into being from a solid bar of brass, in the Mechanical Processing departments of the NIT (Nobili Institute of Technology), the most efficient complex in the entire sector, designed to support constant growth and to offer the market a high quality standard with a very low environmental impact.
