APELL, Stainless Steel Sinks, Chieti, 1997

At first conservative sink typologies have been redesigned by cleaning up proportions and geometry. Then the idea was to introduce combinations of different topside finishes, matt and polished for instance, in the case of welded sinks where top an basin derive from two different stamps and are welded together. The third step was to include various types of colored plastic accessoires with the intend to add liveliness to functionality and character of the product as well as visibility to the company on the market. Unfortunately Apell actually produces only a conservative model which appears first in the slide show. The formal solution of the grating here consists in horizontal cylindric elements that cut through the necessary oblique plane and therefore gradually disappear. All other bendings are also circular segments.
