The dominant design trend at present in the American kitchen market is "bigger is better". This applies not just for large professional home kitchen units, but also for sinks and fittings. In response to this development, Franke Consumer Products Inc. in Hatfield has introduced "Vision & Magnum" – two brand-new, extra large sink lines for the US market.

Its trend-setting design makes a "Magnum" sink the center of attention in the kitchen

The new "Vision" series combines an unusual design – particularly noticeable by the elongated corners – with high functionality for the retail customer. Further features of this new sink range include the extra-large twin basins. These are mounted under the work surface and their special form means they can be easily integrated into every kitchen design. The "Vision" series consists of the following models: the VNX 160 with 11/2 basins, the VNX 110-37 with 13/4 basins and the extra large model, the VNX 100-45. These three models from Franke should meet the new US trend requirements in terms of size. The elegantly curved design with the 9-inch deep main basin has enough room even for large professional baking trays and pans. Drip trays, which can be set on top of the protruding shoulders on the right and left, are also available as an optional extra.
