The 'SocialCorner' Sinks Make the Most of Limited Space
Michael Hemsworth — June 26, 2017 — Art & Design
It can be distinctly difficult for two people to share a sink in a kitchen without disturbing the other, so the 'SocialCorner' island sink is intended to provide a more functional alternative. The 'SocialCorner' sink is the design work of Matthew Quinn in collaboration with Canada-based manufacturer Julien in order to solve the issues that exist with existing solutions.
The 'SocialCorner' island sinks come in three different size variations and are capable of being installed on the left or right corners. This enables one person to utilize the front portion of the sink, while the left or right side can be used by another person without either having to get in the other's way when preparing a meal.
