“When looking for a local manufacturer to make a bespoke stainless steel “Champagne Sink” for a new feature showroom display, Natalie Fry the Designer at Poggenpohl Design Centre Leeds approached Pland Stainless to provide a solution. Poggenpohl are a German designer kitchen manufacturer who were established in 1892 and are present in over 70 countries worldwide.
The basic brief for the sink was that it needed to be 2m long and mount into a Acrylic type bespoke worktop. The unit was to be used to store Champagne and other drinks on ice. Gary Pearson, Technical Estimator for Pland Stainless sent Natalie a series of drawings for products Pland had produced for other clients to give her an idea of what could be done for this brief. Natalie was then invited to the Pland factory in Lower Wortley, Leeds to see the production facility and discuss in detail a full brief for this sink.
From this brief the Pland design team created drawings and a 3D CAD model of the proposed sink and once approved by Natalie this unit went into manufacture. As you will see from the photograph below, this sink was fitted into a beautiful white feature island in the main display and formed the centre piece for a large launch event for the new ranges presented by Poggenpohl.
Feedback on this unit was extremely positive from both prospective clients and local interior designers
