However, I haven's seen or heard any "breaking news" when it comes to kitchen sinks. Maybe we are spoiled here in Europe with Franke, Blanco, Reginox, Stala and some others just around the corner. The last real innovation came by Blanco when they introduced the Claron series. The idea of the Zerox line was developed by a Dutch company called ABK. A real innovation imho is called Pitt cooking and I'm sure you'll see it in Colonge. We sell it too in our Corian, CaesarStone, Glass and TopCore worktops http://www.erbi.nl/pittcooking<br /><br />Wishing you a lovely trip Jamie!Norman Saarlooshttp://www.facebook.com/topworktopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715914014763918808.post-14463926853480012142010-11-15T11:13:19.878-05:002010-11-15T11:13:19.878-05:00I think this particular sink design by Blanco is o...I think this particular sink design by Blanco is one of their slicker concepts. In fact I’ve blogged myself about Blanco quite a bit and will be going to Toronto, Canada at the end of January on an all-expenses-paid trip with other members of the Blanco Design Team to tour their Canadian plant and visit the Interior Design Show 2011. I am frankly looking forward to being able to go from sink to sink for comparison purposes. <br /><br />As for the design itself, what I most want for our kitchen is one of those food-preparation-in-the-sink concepts. They all begin with a cutting board that slides back and forth on a track of some sort, to keep it from just skating around the sink. Beyond that, there is any number of sizes, shapes, configurations, and layouts, all of which tend to work well. I think what I would most like to see in this sink concept is something that enables one to use bowls in the sink to neatly catch chopped items and the like. The other thing I would very much like to see is something innovative for the smaller sink, as ours is not a large kitchen, so space is very much at a premium. Far too many of the concepts I have seen are way cool… and way too large for our kitchen!Josephhttp://www.cft411.comnoreply@blogger.com
