HATFIELD, Pa., March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- As people turn more to dining at home, it's vital that their kitchens are places that inspire the best work and contributes to a positive atmosphere. It's a time to dream and find ways to turn those dreams into practical realities. That's exactly what the European and American designers at Franke Luxury Products are doing.

For everyone who ever dreamed of a kitchen that could liberate his or her "inner Martha, Emeril or Rachael," Franke puts together versions of what they call the "Active Kitchen." Demonstrating that true luxury means living life with quality, they offer totally personalized options that will last a lifetime. One recommendation for the aspiring chef is a three-part system that pairs a large, deep rectangular sink (CWX 161-W) with the gently curved and highly versatile Beach Prep Sink (BBX160) that accommodates a second drain, three lock-in prep, colander and measuring bowls and a cutting board and polished stainless steel grid (further good news is that all are included in the price.) The Franke disposer unit can be related to either of the sinks. The Franke Beach Range Hood picks up the curved contours of the prep sink to pull together the design themes of both the kitchen's major work areas. Like every element of a Franke Active Kitchen, the graceful range hood combines beauty with state of the art efficiency in air management while it mirrors the kitchen's sink systems. Being beautiful is just the beginning. Franke's Beach Range Hood also features sleek, low-profile vertical electronic controls; a contoured, "smart" telescopic chimney that's reversible for recirculating application; and Franke's exclusive Stainless Steel mesh filters that pop out and into the dishwasher to ensure that the inside is as attractive as the outside. A good faucet choice to fit the luxury and practicality of this system is Franke's FF-1700 with pull out sprayer handle with armrest, independent faucet spout and professional styling.

For Franke, luxury is about living well. It always includes the fact that kitchen systems work every bit as well as they look and last. They make it easy for the aspiring chef to move seamlessly from preparation through clean up. The privately held company is currently recommitting itself to making the world safe for this kind of luxury, the kind that is here for today and here for tomorrow, that holds its value thanks to its quality components and impeccable engineering. Theirs are kitchens for the person who says, "I may not be a chef right now, but I think I could be if my kitchen were better designed." At a time when it's important to make dining at home as satisfying as it is smart, the Franke Active Kitchen is the ideal option. The power of design details can't be underestimated in the well-planned kitchen.

Franke, the world's largest manufacturer of kitchen sinks, is a privately held $3 billion company specializing in the design and engineering of luxury systems for the management of air, water and waste and known for creating "Kitchens Without Compromise." Based in Switzerland and operating 85 subsidiaries in 41 countries it is marketed in the US by Franke Luxury Products Group and its national network of Authorized Resellers, committed to being here today and here tomorrow for its quality conscious customers and consumers.
