DESIGN NAME: Blanco Profina
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Apron Front Kitchen Sink
INSPIRATION: When we hear customers say they want bigger sinks, more counter space, apron fronts and modern kitchens; we don’t design multiple sinks, we took it as a personal challenge to deliver it all in one product. The Profina is a beautifully designed, unique style that blends the best of the farmhouse aesthetic and contemporary trend.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A generously sized iconic farmhouse sink with an innovative Accessory Ledge, Blanco Profina saves counter space and fits stylistically within modern kitchens. It is the one sink that fits the complex demands of today’s modern, hardworking kitchen. Blanco Profina's contemporary style and slender 3/4 inch thick walls blend farm style trend with modern design. The integral ledge provides added workspace for a cutting board and dish rack/colander.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This is a large sink which also saves space with an integral ledge that holds accessories. It's thin wall construction is not only durable - but also offers more space inside and looks more modern - trend-setting.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Product was launched 1/1/17.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The hardest part was making this innovative design in Fireclay. On paper it was easier to engineer - but then Blanco's Fireclay experts had to really push the limits of the material to make it a reality.
