The family kitchen – so much more than just a place to cook

Chatting, laughing, playing, quickly checking a few emails, finishing homework, or cooking and enjoying a nice meal together. In the past, the kitchen was usually separated from the dining and living areas and used primarily for cooking and washing dishes. In modern living environments, however, it has become a central hangout for the whole family. A place full of life.

And it can get quite hectic at times. To ensure that the kitchen meets the needs of all family members, good planning and sensible furnishings are essential. It needs to be homely, childproof and robust, yet open, spacious and bright, with a cosy dining area and plenty of storage space for food, kitchen appliances, cooking utensils and crockery. Speaking of dishes, there is always a pile of washing up to do after a family meal – which is why the sink unit in particular should be functional, easy to clean and durable. If you also value modern design, the Siluet collection from Villeroy & Boch is the ideal choice. These premium ceramic sinks are available as solo basins with a strainer bowl – with particularly large basins and a range of models for all common base unit widths.

The square Siluet 50 S sink is particularly practical and versatile. Despite its compact dimensions, it features an integrated waste bowl that can be placed on the right, left or on top, depending on the layout of the kitchen. Whether you prefer a flush-mounted or surface-mounted design, both are possible with Siluet. There are also versatile accessories such as a universal walnut chopping board that can be inserted into the draining area or an integrated stainless steel strainer that fits perfectly into the sink – ideal for washing vegetables or salads and for conveniently draining pasta or potatoes.

The Siluet sinks' filigree design is made possible thanks to the innovative TitanCeram material, which has been specially formulated to allow the creation of precise edges and slender walls combined with high stability. TitanCeram also offers all the material advantages of high-quality ceramic: all Siluet models are food-safe and lightfast, resistant to knocks, impacts and scratches as well as heat and cold. The CeramicPlus surface finish also ensures hygiene and easy cleaning.

Villeroy & Boch offers ceramic sinks for every kitchen – from rustic butler sinks to practical corner variants with high-quality fittings in a retro or professional design. A coloured sink provides a unique accent; there are 13 ceramic colours to choose from, including the new soft and earthy Almond cream clay and exclusive décors. The taps are also available with different surfaces, for example in dark grey matt anthracite.
