New Carbon Fibre Articulating Faucet By Kohler
Kohler has created a kitchen faucet that possesses the functionality and performance of a pull-down faucet, while also allowing the user to position and leave the sprayhead right where it’s needed, thereby freeing up both hands for kitchen prep and clean-up tasks.
The use of a textured carbon fiber composite adds further appeal to a unique visual aesthetic that reinforces the contemporary nature of the design.
Unlike other kitchen faucets, the Karbon faucet will maintain the exact position where a user places it within its allotted reach in or outside the sink, keeping the spray head and water flow exactly where it’s desired. Additionally, the faucet offers both spray and aerated water flow options, eliminating the need for a sidespray. An elaborate design detail is featured in the remote joystick valve that consists of two disks of identical size installed flush with the countertop to provide an unusually sleek look and offer easy cleaning.
The actual construction of the faucet is a combination of traditional brass and innovative carbon fiber composite tubing. The logic behind the use of carbon fiber lies in its superior strength and light weight, allowing for tight movement tolerance and the exceptional functional performance of this faucet. The joints connecting the four sections of the faucet employ a novel patented technology that provides exceptional resistance to support the spout while allowing for smooth and effortless handling.
This faucet is awesome! Innovative design, combined with superb function. It's everything you could ask for in a kitchen faucet! Kohler introduced Karbon last year, however it was so popular, it was hard to get ahold of. I haven't checked it's availability since October, but I'm hoping it's readily available now. They introduced a new wall mounted version at the 2009 International Builders Show.

I just love this video for its artistry! Who ever thought that a video about a faucet could be so moving! 
Kohler's well scripted and informative video of the how's and what's of the Karbon Faucet.
