As a centerpiece in the room, a kitchen faucet needs to be well designed and beautiful; as a frequently used fixture in the some, it also needs to offer superb functionality. The Hansgrohe Kitchen Design Competition will recognize designers that embrace the importance of the kitchen, and especially the kitchen faucet, in our daily lives. Entries will be judged by Interior Design magazine editors, and winners will be featured in the September issue of Interior Design. Prizes also include all-expense-paid trips to Tuscany, Italy and Chelsea, New York for exclusive cooking schools and a generous Viking HomeChefs Gift Card.
