Unplugged

Unplugged Issue 4 Cover

In economic times like we have experienced in NZ over the past 18 months, the need to make the right choices when it comes to spending on home improvements becomes glaringly apparent. The choices we make can mean the difference between a win or a fall when it comes to the property game. Even those renovating to enjoy, rather than resell, need to be wary of overcapitalising. With some careful planning and some careful shopping, you can still, even in times like these, come out on top. Luckily it’s still possible to get the best of style for prices that are easier on the pocket. This is one great feature of the Foreno Tapware range that everyone can enjoy.  Compared to many alternatives, Foreno’s taps are very well priced and thankfully, quality has not been compromised. Manufacturing standards adhered to by Foreno are above the mandatory standards set by law and while Foreno too have been forced to endure the tough NZ economic climate of late, they understand the importance of quality products and have stood by their promise to produce only the highest quality tapware with NZ design in mind. A number of exciting new products have just been launched and Foreno continue to search the world in the most cutting edge design locations, to bring the best interior trends back home. New Zealand design also features prominently with the second of the family of cultural pieces to be launched  – Mana – following on from the successful launch of the Waka range released last year.  Mana is already gaining attention from the international market and if the growth of Waka is anything to go by, it will be next to be centre stage on the worldwide arena. Foreno are long standing advocates of the WELS water saving rating scheme and while WELs has only recently become mandatory in NZ, they have been prominent supporters of these standards for years.  Foreno are so passionate as a company about the quality of NZ tapware that they even launched their own ‘Healthy Tapware’ brand to educate consumers about safe tapware and the risks of lead-leaching metals and non-food safe greases being used in some non-compliant taps. Unplugged in its fourth issue, brings you a massive range of tapware to choose from and hopefully a few tips that will help you on your way. And if you are still hungry for more, make sure you visit the new Foreno website.  It’s packed with all sorts of useful information.

Happy designing!
