"Our ingenious new Chef Center brings open-concept and
multifunctional living to one of the most elemental aspects of the
kitchen, reinventing how home owners use and think about their
sinks," said Gary Langbo, president of Franke Kitchen Systems.
"We are thrilled that to introduce in Spring 2016 a versatile sink
system that not only enhances entertaining and minimizes
stress, but offers a level of technological innovation that has
distinguished Franke and its products for generations."
Thoughtfully designed and engineered in Switzerland, the
Chef Center's wide basin accommodates large pots and pans
easily, and the sink reveal allows the custom accessories to lay
flat on the sink ledge and slide easily from side to side.
Handcrafted from premium-quality 18-gauge stainless steel, the
Chef Center also features superior sound absorption to
significantly reduce disposal and dishwashing noise.
OTHER NOTEWORTHY CHEF CENTER FEATURES AND
DETAILS INCLUDE:
• Maximized Work Space: The Chef Center undermount sink
comes in two sizes that accommodate 30 inch and 36 inch
cabinets; both models feature Franke's signature integrated
ledge that, in conjunction with accessories, expands counter-
top work space without compromising sink functionality.
• Multifunctional Storage Space: Two integrated storage
compartments anchor the Chef Center's capacity to serve as
a multi-functional preparation and entertaining center. Use the
anti-microbial compartments for chilling wine, storing cleaning
supplies or even composting food scraps in a specially-
designed removable bin, which is connected to the main drain
pipe for easy, clean and green disposal of particles left behind.
• Enhanced Functionality: Extend countertop space and
create an all-in-one experience by pairing the Chef Center
with a line of all inclusive custom accessories. Choose from a
cutting board, colander, grid, mobile drainer board, and
Franke's exclusive Roller Mat, which is sturdy enough for
drying and draining and flexible enough to slip right into the
dishwasher.
"The kitchen sink tends to be one of the most overlooked and
under-appreciated components of the kitchen, and yet it is
absolutely essential," said Fausto Samaniego, senior product
manager for Franke Kitchen Systems. "The Chef Center
embodies Franke's belief in the power of a beautifully-designed
sink system to transform the sink into the heart of the kitchen,
and the kitchen into the heart of the home."
