Mythos Black Line built-in appliances from Franke: a complete range of kitchen solutions

Franke's Mythos Black Line collection is a complete range of striking black built-in appliances that blends perfectly into the design of the kitchen, enhancing its atmosphere.

Elegant and timeless, this collection perfectly combines comfort and sophistication with uncompromising functionality and high performance.

Characterised by a uniform black aesthetic and a focus on modularity, the Mythos Black Line collection creates a visually harmonious and fully functional space.

The heart of the collection is the powerful combination of oven and microwave, but it also includes an induction hob, hood, coffee machine, wine cellar and matching mixers and sinks.

 

Mythos Black Line oven and microwave

The Mythos oven and microwave form the fundamental basis of Franke's Mythos Black Line collection: characterised by a skilful combination of black glass and matt black elements, they stand out for their sophistication and innovation. The black finish lends elegance, while the CookAssist technology and the 3.5-inch TFT full-colour touch display ensure the oven's high performance

Mythos microwaves can be used individually or combined with ovens for a truly convenient cooking configuration. Equipped with the Smooth2Close system, exclusive cooking programmes and a stainless steel cavity, these microwaves feature a faster heating process, quiet operation and versatile cooking options. The possibility of combining the Mythos microwave with the black warming drawer offers further versatility.

 

Induction hob: minimalist aesthetics

The Mythos induction hob is now available in a larger 90 cm version.

The EasyCook, FlexPro and ProCook settings give you the tools to prepare your favourite dishes with ease: from the selection of preset functions, through the combination of cooking zones for greater flexibility to the adjustment of power levels for different temperatures. The sophisticated black finish and elegant lines match the minimalist aesthetic of the entire collection.

 

Mythos Vertical Pro cooker hood: cutting-edge solution

Perfect for the Mythos induction hob, the Mythos Vertical Pro hood is a cutting-edge, eco-friendly solution for the kitchen. With its A++ energy class, this hood not only keeps the air fresh and clean, but also boasts High Performance filters for superior air purification. The slanted body design and LED light bar ensure optimal illumination of the cooking area.

 

The Icon range of mixers and matching sinks

The Icon range of mixers boasts a high-quality matt black finish, designed to create a harmonious atmosphere to match the Mythos Black Line collection. The Icon mixer, winner of the Red Dot and iF Design awards in 2021, offers a choice of a swivel spray with a double jet and a swivel spout to suit different preferences. The ergonomic silhouette is enhanced by a side lever in the swivel spray configuration and a front lever embellished with an elegant black finish in the swivel spout version.

Adding to the Icon range of mixers is the new Icon Semi-Pro, a model that combines functionality and sophistication, while ensuring maximum practicality. With its elegant aesthetics and remarkable performance, the Icon Semi-Pro recently won the prestigious Red Dot Award 2023.

The Mythos Kubus 2 bathtub and Mythos Fresno sink, both available in black, complete the ensemble, perfectly complementing the Icon mixer tap. With their minimalist design and versatile functionality, they add a further touch of style to the kitchen environment.
