Talis S & E Select™ Collection: Hansgrohe is bringing its popular Select™ technology to the sink with the new Talis Select S and Talis Select E faucets. Created in close collaboration with Hansgrohe’s longstanding design partner Phoenix Design, the aesthetic appeal of the Talis range lies in its clean lines and the seamless transition of the spout to the faucet body. Its integrated Select technology is purely mechanical;the flow of water is turned on and off with a touch of the button. Clean and sanitary, this allows for hands-free operation as the button can be engaged with the forearm, elbow, etc. The added convenience requires no electricity or other devices in the base cabinet.
