Everything and the Kitchen Sink – The Abey Australia Boutique Collection
Meeting the ever-increasing pace and complexity of modern life, Australian kitchen, laundry and bathroom experts Abey Australia have released the Boutique Collection. Streamlining cooking and reducing mess with built-in tools and accessories, the Abey Australia Boutique Collection goes beyond the basic kitchen sink, with a series of highly considered designs that transform household kitchens into user-friendly preparation stations.
With many modern families opting for open plan living and kitchen arrangements, what was once a workspace that could be hidden away is now commonly the centrepiece of the home. This means that, when entertaining, guests tend to congregate in the kitchen. With everything from built-in graters that fit into a re-movable collection bowl and colanders for rinsing vegetables directly into the sink, as well as easy-to-reach condiment compartments, the Boutique system gives a sleek look to a working kitchen – even when the home cook is part-way through meal preparation.
For apartment dwellers and those with compact kitchens, these systems also capitalise on space, allowing the majority of the work to happen over the sink, reducing mess. Visual noise is also reduced, with matching accessories available in the collection, including midnight black, state-of-the-art wood-fibre composite board sets, knife sets and condiment bottles, waste collection containers and draining boards.
The sinks and surrounds are made from commercial quality 1.2-millimetre-thick stainless steel, delivering a high degree of quality and a sleek professional look to the kitchen space. They are designed with a 15-millimetre infinity edge with no crease lines in the sink, for a sense of modern minimalism and effortless clean lines that will not date. To match with existing kitchen cabinetry and the architectural aesthetic of the home, the Boutique range also comes in a variety of finishes and tones, including the Boutique Lugano in Artisan Copper and the darkly tinted Black Pearl stainless steel. There are also other options to consider in terms of mounting, sink sizes and the right- or left-hand configuration of sinks, which will depend on specific kitchen layouts and personal preferences.
