Where's the value in an innovation no one can clean?

This is the new Polhedra series from Franke.




They sure are interesting but how does one clean a sink with a faceted bottom? Seriously. I'm all about innovation and new ways to approach old problems, but this strikes me as something that causes problems that didn't exist before.

Trendir tells me that I can read all about it on Franke's website but I can't find a mention of it. Again, where's the value in this innovation?

  2. It's a sign of the times Jane. Things everyone once assumed were benign are now anything but.

  3. This sink is for the same people who have Viking or Wolf ranges and don't cook.

  4. I think this goes a step beyond "I don't cook" and it says something like, "Ask me to cook and I will cut you."

  5. Hmm. Maybe this one's a product of the Just Because You Can Doesn't Mean You Should department.

  6. I'll say Becky, it looks like an undercounter tumor.

  9. Hey watch it Raina, I have a Viking cooktop and I do cook.....ohhhh....that's why all the lettering rubbed off. No one told me I wasn't supposed to use the bloddy thing. Oops.

    Oh and the sink......ugh. It's supposed to be for washing dishes not for UFO's to land, right?

    V: I defy anybody to wash anything in that sink.

  11. I think those sinks are really cool looking.

    I am not sure I understand your point about cleaning it...what is this strange word 'cleaning' you seem to be throwing around. ;-)
