RETAILOBSERVER.COM AUGUST 2016 48 ELEGANT ANGLES The geometric designs of the new Gravena sink from Ruvati combines style with performance to create a functional focal point for the kitchen Ruvati brings a new perspective to the kitchen with the addition of RVH8500 to their Gravena Undermount Sink Collection. The sleek looking basin makes a bold statement with clean, linear lines and a pleasing mirrored symmetry that is perfect for contemporary kitchens. The Gravena Collection is notable for its modern vibe, and the RVH8500 model is no exception. The tight radius design with inside curved corners makes it easy to clean and lends a sleek sophistication that is both edgy and urban. Rear drain placements ensure dishes left in the sink do not settle on the drain and prevent water flow, while elegant drain grooves channel water towards the drain, keeping the sink clean and dry. A luxurious satin finish and heavy-duty sound guard undercoating makes Gravena a practical and beautiful choice for the kitchen. The gleaming good looks of Gravena sinks find their origin in stainless steel, but not just any stainless steel. As with all Ruvati sinks and faucets, the Gravena Collection is manufactured from T-304 stainless steel, the highest gauge available, using state-of- the-art machinery and sustainable practices to create a finished product that is amazingly beautiful, eco-friendly and durable. The Ruvati design team finds inspiration in the classic traditions of Italian style and quality, a muse made obvious in every sink by their exceptional craftsmanship and flawless finish. Gravena sinks are engineered to last a lifetime. The main left and right basins have a generous interior depth of 9" for easily handling the daily demands of today's busy kitchens. Coordinating rinse grids and basket strainers complete the look and enhance usability. For more information about Gravena's RVH8500 Undermount kitchen sink, visit www.ruvati.com.
