Inspiration - old-style countertop

Maybe it will be more fun to do the dishes if you'll do it on a beautiful old-fashioned countertop? Get inspired by our sink in the shop at Karlavägen 7 in Stockholm. Here we have assembled a kitchen sink from Shaws with a retro modern kitchen faucet Denver in chrome. The lavender linseed oil soap spreads a nice smell and the wood brush with a leather strap gives the right feeling.

Shaws has been manufacturing kitchen hobs since 1897 and is considered to be one of Europe's true quality manufacturers. All porcelain sinks from Shaws are handmade and solidly built, and therefore we also recommend that an undermounted sink be supported from underneath the cabinet frame.

Linseed oil soap is eco-friendly, efficient and biodegradable with no fining agents and preservatives. The soap is used to clean floors, tiles, stone, wood materials, paint brushes or for paint removal or hand and car washing, etc. The soap also dissolves dirt in cold water.
