Brilliant Kitchen Design: The Galley Sink with Sliding Accessories

By Rain Noe - May 28, 2012

As someone sorely lacking in kitchen space, I'm intensely covetous of the Galley Sink, a cleverly-designed system that greatly maximizes the functionality of a limited footprint.

The idea is simple: Two steps along each lengthwise edge allow you to slide a variety of accessories back and forth as needed, ranging from cutting boards to container-holding cutouts to racks and even a portable induction-style burner. Check it out:

I love how the narrator carefully enunciates "H-D-P-E" like it's some alien material.

Dave: Thank you! Hand washing dishes at the Galley is easy with the round sink accessory! Check out this video of hand-washing dishes at the Galley here: http://youtu.be/IyIRttLVIIw

Jomy: The Kohler Stages Sink size is 45" wide and 12-3/4" of that is a slanted platform area, leaving roughly 32" to use as the actual sink. The Galley has three sizes to choose from (4', 5 1/2' and 7'), and every inch of the sink is usable. The Galley, when paired with the Signature Accessories, is the ULTIMATE work station!

The Kohler Stages sink is a similar concept. The Stages sink does not have as many accessories available however it is a tiny fraction of the price of the Galley Sink.

love it! reminds me of voctor papanek's coffee table design from 'nomadic furniture' where the table essentially is just legs and 2 rails into which plant pots, a record player and a magazine rack can all sit flush alongside tabletop panels.
I am not sure about making the whole thing one enormous basin- that would be a lot of water to soak the dishes in, I suppose you are just meant to have a dishwasher?
