The modern kitchen has become more than a place to prepare food. It is where conversations begin, where guests gather, and where everyday rituals unfold.

Synthos was designed with this shift in mind. Rather than treating accessories as tools confined to the sink, each piece was conceived as an object that could move naturally throughout the home—beautiful enough to remain on display, functional enough to become indispensable.

Behind every detail was a process of observation. We explored the homes and lifestyles of design-conscious consumers, studied the choreography of meal preparation, and tested countless workflows to understand how people naturally reach, prepare, rinse, organize and serve. The resulting collection feels intuitive because it was shaped around real behaviour, not assumptions.

From its layered workstation architecture to its carefully curated material palette, Synthos brings together craftsmanship, performance and quiet luxury in a system designed to disappear into the experience of cooking itself.

Every part of this project was shaped through observation,
food preparation studies and workflow testing — refined not only for function, but for the rituals that surround cooking and gathering.

Multi-ledge sink design allows accessories to seamlessly slide and eclipse each other

The goal was never to just design sink accessories. It was to create objects that belong in the home, moving effortlessly from sink to table while supporting the task at hand.
