Hands-Free Control And A Finish Built To Stay That Way
The Karran Chantilly is a touchless, single-handle pull-down kitchen faucet in Matte Black, part of the Kadoma-class sensor faucet lineup. A wave of the hand starts or stops the flow, while the single lever stays available for precise temperature and volume control. It mounts through a single countertop or sink-deck hole and suits any kitchen where a clean, low-maintenance finish is as important as the technology behind the spout.
Key Features
• Touch-free motion sensor starts and stops water with a hand wave, keeping the faucet clean during messy prep work.
• Single lever control sets flow rate and water temperature independently of the sensor for precise manual adjustment.
• Pull-down spray head on a retractable hose delivers water where it is needed inside the bowl.
• Dual-function spray head switches between an aerated stream and a powerful spray pattern.
• Matte Black finish applied by PVD resists fingerprints and pairs with dark or two-tone hardware throughout the kitchen.
• Single-hole mounting with mounting hardware and hot and cold water lines included.
Where Touchless Changes the Workflow
The sensor pays off most during tasks that leave hands coated in raw protein, dough, or garden soil — exactly the moments when reaching for a handle creates the most cleanup afterward. A wave trips the flow on the way to the sink and shuts it off on the way back to the cutting board, with no contact required. The dual-function spray head handles both rinsing produce under a gentle stream and blasting residue off a sheet pan, toggled at the head. The pull-down reach puts water precisely over a deep bowl or toward a second basin on a double-bowl setup, and the retractable hose returns the head to its docked position at the spout.
Matte Black, Done Right
Matte Black is among the most popular finish requests in kitchen renovations, and it is also among the easiest to show fingerprints on a standard painted or powder-coated surface. The Chantilly's PVD finish addresses that directly. Physical vapor deposition bonds the finish at the molecular level, producing a surface that holds its look under the daily contact a kitchen faucet takes. It coordinates naturally with Matte Black cabinet pulls, soap dispensers, and drain components when a unified finish runs throughout the space. The faucet body is lead-free brass beneath that finish, consistent with Karran's kitchen line specification.
The Right Fit for This Faucet
This faucet is at home in a newly built kitchen where the designer has specified a single-hole deck or countertop and a dark finish palette. It also works cleanly as a replacement in an existing kitchen that already has a single hole — the sensor technology upgrades the experience without requiring a new countertop cutout. Cabinet shops and installers specifying fixtures for clients who cook frequently will find the touch-free operation a strong talking point at the same time as it simplifies spec: single hole, included hardware, standard supply connections. Homeowners managing a full kitchen renovation or a faucet-only update both land in the same place: a finished installation that handles the demands of an active kitchen.
Does the sensor override the lever, or do both work at the same time?
The sensor and the single lever operate together, not in competition. The lever sets your preferred temperature and flow; the sensor starts and stops the water at those settings. You can also ignore the sensor entirely and run the faucet manually with the lever alone.
Will this faucet work on a sink that already has a faucet hole?
Yes. The Chantilly mounts through a single hole, so it is a straightforward replacement for any existing single-hole installation. If your current sink has additional holes, escutcheon caps or sink-hole covers handle the extras and are available separately.
What does the spray head actually include?
The pull-down head offers two functions: a standard aerated stream for filling and rinsing, and a more powerful spray for cleaning and rinsing produce or cookware. The head pulls down on a retractable hose and docks back at the spout when not in use.
Is the Matte Black finish going to show water spots?
The PVD process used here creates a harder, more durable surface than painted or powder-coated matte finishes and is more resistant to the spotting and smudging that matte black faucets are sometimes criticized for. Routine wiping keeps it looking consistent.
What is included in the box?
Mounting hardware and hot and cold water supply lines are included per the specification. The faucet does not include a soap dispenser; Karran offers coordinating Matte Black dispensers as a separate accessory.
One Faucet That Earns Its Place Every Day
The Chantilly Matte Black delivers sensor convenience and a finish built for daily kitchen life, in a single-hole package that fits new construction and replacement installs equally well.
