Franke is developing the idea of Well-living as a comprehensive approach to kitchen equipment. It is a concept that combines water quality, effective air purification and convenient food preparation into a single kitchen system. The result is a kitchen that is household-friendly, functional, safe and aesthetically refined.
Well-living in Polish homes - Kantar survey
The results of the Kantar survey show that home today is primarily a space for relaxation and relationships. For 49% of Poles, it is a place to relax, and for 46% it is a place for family gatherings. These needs are also reflected in terms of kitchen design and equipment.
The Kantar survey, commissioned by Franke, also confirms that Poles are very conscious about their choice of furnishings. 65% of respondents focus on quality, 70% on durability, and 57% expect appliances that are easy to use. At the same time, as many as 76% are actively trying to improve their health, so kitchen solutions must realistically support daily habits, not just look good. Well-living is being developed precisely in this direction, so that water, air and the food preparation zone work as one system that simplifies everyday life and increases comfort
- says Monika Dembowska, an expert at Franke Polska.
Take control of water quality
One of Franke's key focus areas is water quality management. That's why the brand offers four faucet variants with a filtration function to suit different users' needs and budgets. The most advanced solution is the Mythos Water Hub, which combines access to tap water and four variants of filtered water in a single faucet: chilled, room temperature, carbonated and boiling. Water parameters can be further personalized using the Franke@Home app. On the other hand, filtering, heating, cooling and saturating CO₂ water all take place in one compact unit mounted in the sink cabinet.

Breathe clean air
The air inside the house can sometimes be of poorer quality than outside. That's why for Franke, the second pillar of Well-living is improving its quality. Induction cooktops with built-in hoods from the 2gether series are extremely functional 2-in-1 appliances. They make it possible to design islands without a traditional hood, while maintaining high fume removal efficiency, which is particularly important in kitchens open to the living area. The Mythos and Maris lines include models primarily for islands. In the Smart series, there is a model designed for a standard 60-cm-wide cabinet, allowing installation in a wall-mounted line. The latest models in the Ellipse series are distinguished by very quiet and efficient operation in their class. Importantly, the motor and electronic components are protected from flooding. All models can operate in exhaust and absorber modes.
Organize your kitchen work better
An important part of the well-living concept is also the organization of the workspace. The Box Center is a sink equipped with a set of the most necessary accessories: three chef' s knives, two cutting boards, a drip pad and a dish dryer. As a result, it becomes a practical kitchen work center that organizes the food preparation zone and shortens the sequence of activities. Accessories stored in a toolbox tucked into the compartment help reduce visual chaos and improve the ergonomics of daily work.

Healthy dishes from the oven
Well-living also means a healthy diet, in which steamed dishes have an important place. The Mythos built-in steam oven offers 60 automatic Cook Assist programs. It allows Multicooking, Full Steam baking and steam cleaning to save time and energy. The model is available in a finish with stainless steel detailing or in a solid black version that enhances the modern character of the kitchen.
Coffee as if from a barista
Well-living is not only about functionality, but also about daily celebration and enjoyment of small rituals. The built-in coffee machine from the Mythos line allows you to prepare, among other things, cappuccino and espresso, offers 5 coffee intensity levels, an intuitive LCD display and an integrated grinder for fresh beans, with the possibility of also using ground coffee. A special drawer with accessories for serving coffee and tea can be matched with the machine.

Home wine collection
Complementing a kitchen designed in the spirit of Well-living is a wine storage area. The Mythos built-in wine cabinet holds up to 24 bottles and allows you to conveniently organize your home collection as part of your kitchen built-in. This solution can be matched with a specialized drawer with accessories for serving different varieties. The Maris under-counter wine cooler, on the other hand, has a capacity of up to 36 bottles. Both models allow you to set the temperature from 4 to 18 degrees Celsius, suitable for both white and red wines.
In Franke 's terms, well-living is a design direction based on a conscious selection of kitchen appliances that complement each other's functions and create a user-friendly system based on Swiss quality.
