Organisation is, of course, crucial to any effective kitchen. The better and more seamlessly components work together - the more efficiently and easy things are, and the more enjoyable.
Well, one of our leading brands, Franke, has applied some ingenious thinking to greatly improve the functionality of that most pivotal kitchen component: the sink!
The Chef Centre
A stylishly innovative design, Franke’s Chef Centre lets you transform your kitchen sink effortlessly from a cleaning station to an additional food preparation area.

One of the key elements is their integrated ledge system (incidentally resting flush with the sink to ensure a beautifully elegant line) upon which a range of custom-fitted accessories sit.
These various elements - including an exclusive rollamat, cutting board, colander (which is designed to sit above the sink) and a extension drainer- can slide from side-to-side, depending on your requirements.
Additional versatility is brought by two integrated, anti-microbial storage compartments that are positioned alongside the sink aperture. They can be used to cool wine when you’re entertaining, for example, or you can also them use for holding food scraps, during preparation. You can also store cleaning products in them or even - with a specially designed removable bin - use them as a mini composting unit for food waste.
In short, the “Chef Center” gives you the power of a beautifully designed sink system!
Accessories included:
- Grid Drainer
- Extension Drainer
- Chopping Board
- Soft Pad
- Colander
- Rollamat
The Box Centre
Franke’s Box Centre offers a similarly brilliant reinterpretation of the sink area - with this stainless steel system designed to be housed over the second bowl of a double-sink configuration. As with The Chef Centre, flushmount integration ensures smooth elegant lines.

It features a range of exclusive accessories, inserted vertically into the stainless steel cover, creating a tidy, versatile and modular food preparation solution that can be adapted to just about any need.
Accessories included are:
- Set of professional knives with steel blades in a wooden block
- Wire dish rack
- Stainless steel perforated tray for washing food
- Hygenia cutting board for cutting fruit, vegetables and meat
- Wooden cutting board for bread
- Push button waste
When in use, the accessories are positioned on the sink top or used on the kitchen counter. The cutting board and perforated tray fit into the main bowl with the knives close at hand. When not in use, everything fits perfectly away in a steel frame which saves space and lets them drain at the same time.
It adds up to a single highly functional concentrated working space that makes meal prep simple and efficient.
