The new, visionary ‘Vintage’ surface from SCHOCK lends modern sinks the looks of times gone by
Old items of furniture and home accessories radiate something very special. Charac-teristic of the look are worn surfaces, bleached and faded colours and small scratches that bear witness to the items use and lend the furniture a very individual charm. And the retro-style interior design philosophy has also made its way into the kitchen. However, purchasers do not always have to have genuine antiques to surround themselves with the en-vogue used look. Lovers of shabby chic can choose from an abundance of modern vintage-style furniture.
And it is SCHOCK that now unveils a world première that will revolutionise the design of stylistically-matching sinks for this interior trend. With a new, patented formula, the inventor of the granite sink has succeeded in casting targeted irregularities in the surface of the sink. The result is an effect that is reminiscent of wear-and-tear – while retaining the consistent quality properties of the material. The result is a unique surface in CRISTADUR® and CRISTALITE® PLUS in a fashionable brown with worn areas in which a metal effect dominates. The new colourway reveals its full potential when interacting with the light on the sink, when the trendy look of the pleasantly-uneven colouring really makes an impact. “The vintage look is currently one of the leading trend styles in interior design. Characteristic of the furniture used is real or artificially-created signs of age and wear, such as flaked-off areas and seemingly untreated materials. Our new sink surface harmonises perfectly with natural materials and colours and is the ideal addition to any vintage kitchen. However, it can of course also be used as a conscious contrast in other interior styles”, comments Sven-Michael Funck, Marketing and Export Director at SCHOCK.
The new Vintage colourway is available from January 2015 throughout the world with all CRISTADUR® and CRISTALITE® PLUS designs.
