concept & vision

16 rectangular and 20 square stainless-steel kitchen sinks are assembled to form two large pivoting panels

design & architecture

the two large pivoting panels, hinged on a central pivot, outline three different areas within the space of a publishing company - a conference room in the center with offices on either side. The back of each sink is coated with orange automotive high-gloss paint and finished with a layer of clear rubber. Air, light and visual connections are granted by the presence of the drainage holes located at the center of each stainless-steel sink

impact & significance

a common object, our everyday stainless kitchen sink, is replicated and celebrated
