BLANCO has developed a coordinated sink and tap pairing, the OOVALON sink and the LUNEOO tap, which the company presents as a single design story intended to treat the kitchen as an extension of the living space. The manufacturer said the pair blends clean lines, functional innovation and tactile elegance.

Both products have received the German Design Award 2026 and the iF Design Award 2026, according to BLANCO.

Design intent

Marcel Moritz, BLANCO's head of global design and innovation, said that as the company explored the idea of the kitchen as a living space, it concluded that a softer, more fluid shape could bring warmth and approachability without losing clarity.

LUNEOO-S tap

The LUNEOO-S tap has a slender, cylindrical form that BLANCO describes as bringing sculptural quality to the kitchen. It replaces a conventional lever with a new side control unit, and its dual-spray head is held in place magnetically and paired with a flexible braided hose for precision and reach. The control unit can be positioned beside, behind, in front of, or to the left or right of the sink, and the interface is designed to be intuitive and seamless.

A second version, the CHOICE LUNEOO-S, turns the tap into a six-in-one drink system that dispenses chilled, still or sparkling water and boiling hot water alongside standard hot and cold tap water. Its core is the CHOICE.All unit, which sits under the sink. A free BLANCO UNIT app lets households manage the unit, including CO2 level alerts, filter changes and personal settings. Both LUNEOO-S models are offered in black matt, satin gold and satin dark steel.

OOVALON sink

The OOVALON sink is an oval-shaped design available in mystic black and cloud white for undermount installation. It is made from VELGRANIT, which BLANCO calls its latest material innovation; the surface is described as feeling as velvety as sea-polished stone, with durability built in. VELGRANIT is rated for heat resistance up to 300°C and is protected by the BLANCO PROTECTION SHIELD, which the company says resists limescale, fading and even acidic substances. BLANCO adds that fingerprints remain invisible and maintenance is simple.

The sink's CapFlow feature includes a metal top grid that adds a practical work surface and appears to float above the sink while integrating into the overall design.

System integration

Across the range, the BLANCO UNIT combines tap and sink with an optimised system in the sink cabinet, bringing together storage and technology. BLANCO says the arrangement is intended to support efficiency and organisation in the kitchen. Pricing and specific availability were not detailed.
