California Faucets has expanded its Bel Canto single-hole lavatory faucet collection with an even more modern design that eliminates the lever handle.

The new E3 Cylinder Handle gives the faucet a fully modern, streamlined look, the company says and “artfully preserves those overall design elements while further modernizing and simplifying the appearance.”

“Designers and consumers alike love the ingenuity of Bel Canto’s vertically oriented spout, and the new minimalist handle option speaks to the demand for design-forward European design,” says Noah Taft, the company’s senior vice president of marketing and sales.

“To make things even more interesting, consider pairing with a contrasting handle in matte black, one of our longstanding handcrafted finishes that has grown significantly as people have realized there are beautiful options beyond vanilla.”

The Cylinder Handle is a small hub atop the faucet stem and is identical in shape. Users push the hub to operate the faucet and move it left or right to adjust the temperature. The handle can be specified in the same finish as the rest of the faucet or contrasted in something such as Matte Black.

Like other Bel Canto models, the spout delivers water in a vertical sheet for a cool waterfall effect.

The single-hole faucet comes in two sizes: a tall 14 7/8-inch overall height or a more compact 8-½ overall height. It can be specified in 28 finishes, including such popular on-trend options such as Satin Nickel, Burnished Brass, Carbon, French Gold, and Matte Black.
