RETAILOBSERVER.COM JULY 2021 26 BOCCHI INTRODUCES NUOVA DROP-IN APRON FRONT SINK COLLECTION Drop-in sinks provide consumers with simple remodeling options BOCCHI recently announced it is adding an easy-retrofit, Drop-In Apron Front fireclay sink collection with the introduction of its Nuova line. The Nuova collection, which offers single and double-basin options, provides users with a simple solution to update their kitchen space without the need for special cabinetry. "The Nuova collection was created after consumers came to us asking for a fireclay sink option that didn't require a special base cabinet to install it," said Dawn Robinson, Director of Marketing and Communications at BOCCHI. "The collection offers a versatile solution that has the unique look and feel of fireclay." As the name suggests, Drop-In sinks make it easy to replace old sinks without the need to replace the countertops. As an additional benefit, the shorter 8-inch front on the Nuova sinks allows them to be installed on standard base cabinets without interfering with existing cabinet doors, before slanting back to the extra-deep 10-inch basin that fireclay sinks are known for. Both size options are available in black and white, in both matte and glossy finishes. Other color options include glossy biscuit and sapphire blue, as well as matte gray, dark gray and brown. Like all BOCCHI sinks, the Nuova collection is made with Super Smooth and Clean Plus+ technology, making it 19 times smoother than other fireclay options, easier to clean, and antibacterial. Both the single and double-basin options of the Nuova line will be on display in BOCCHI's showroom in Alpharetta, opening in the Summer of 2021. The showroom will be available for interior designers to bring their clients and will be home to an extended line of BOCCHI sinks and accessories. Designers can visit BOCCHIUSA.com for more information on the showroom. Visit www.BOCCHIUSA.com for more information. FARMHOUSE STYLE FOR THE LAUNDRY ROOM Small size delivers big style with new Fiamma 23" fireclay sink by Ruvati When it comes to home interiors we too often overlook the laundry room. No longer! Ruvati has put their impressive design skills to task to reimagine the traditional ho-hum laundry sink into something pretty spectacular. Their new Fiamma Fireclay farmhouse sink brings lots of drama to the laundry room with a stylish apron-front design and compact dimensions perfect for small spaces. Fiamma is also a smart choice for large kitchens with the space and need for a secondary sink. As part of Ruvati's Fiamma fireclay collection, the new laundry sink is handcrafted in Italy by skilled artisans using a unique naturally white clay found in only a few regions of the world. Fireclay has long been a favorite material for sinks throughout Europe where they are known for their beauty and resilience. Ruvati uses a high-temperature firing process to produce a finished sink of superior strength with a fused enamel surface that is impervious to chips, cracks and scratches. The stylish Fiamma sink can deftly meet the demands of today's busiest households. An extra-deep bowl can accommodate piles of hand laundry with ease. Its fresh modern farmhouse look is very on-trend right now, and its glossy white surface is both beautiful and amazingly durable. Available with dual installation options as an undermount or drop-in, the sink measures 23" wide by 18 ¼" front- to-back, with a 9" deep internal basin. As with all of the brand's products, the Fiamma sink is backed by Ruvati's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Visit www.ruvati.com for more information about this sink or any Ruvati product.
