Are we really asking for too much? We wanted an apron front sink, reminiscent of the farmhouse style that has remained popular since it’s origination in Italy. We wanted a contemporary twist that would work for our modern, contemporary, or minimalistic clients. We wanted state of the art manufacturing and materials. We finally found the sink our clients and we were searching for, and simply had to do a formal review of the item. We ended our search with none other than one of the leading kitchen and bath manufacturers globally, Kohler. The Kohler Verity Apron-Front Undercounter Kitchen Sink K-3086 provided everything our clients asked us for, and more. Three of our staff members were looking for a product for three similar design projects. When one of us found this Kohler beauty, it was done deal for all three clients. Of course the clients, homeowners, fell in love with the look, as did we. But as designers, we know to look for things that homeowners often place in the back of their mind. We’ll take a moment to share those things with you. As many of our readers are homeowners, let’s get the obvious out of the way. It simply looks incredible.

The most impressionable part of this remarkable design is it’s apron front. This apron is important to homeowners for two reasons. First it is contemporary and works in any sort of modern or minimalistic space. It has the obvious stainless steel composition, which is in and of it’s self, very contemporary, but it has also received a light brushing making it highly textural. The sink also includes an under the counter design, which most apron fronts do (but not all) lending even more to a contemporary look. But what adds even more interest is the softening to the design by the curvature. Where classic contemporary and modern design plays down curves in lieu of acute edges, this design plays down edges and accents soft curves, which we believe is what makes is so impressionable.

And while our clients were most focused on the “loveliness” of the design, we designers take a bit more excitement from what on the label. As designers we are trained to encompass an array of data into our though process. So before we order a product, we must ask, is it family friendly? Can it hold up to significant use? Will it function for the family in question or is it no more than a showpiece? Unfortunately, when it comes to kitchen sinks, showpieces don’t meet the mark. Functionality and durability do. And that is where the Verity Apron-Front Undercounter Kitchen Sink (model K-3086) shines bright. The process starts with the highest quality “ingredients.” As designers we look for materials like the eighteen-inch stainless steel, used in this product. This material is not only resistant to staining, but also fading, discoloration, corrosion, and rusting. It will not be affected by contact with kitchen chemicals unlike some other materials. Functionality is another shining area with the SilentShield sound absorbing system designed by Kohler. Say goodbye to clanking dishes! If you haven’t already called to order yours, maybe this will help… Kohler will back up their product with a one year limited warranty, so you can rest assured knowing you are protected as a buyer.
