"Winning the distinctive 2013 Good Design Award is a true honor for Blanco," said Tim Maicher, director of marketing for Blanco. "The Attika sink with its elevated modern rim design and bold architectural character caught the attention of the judges who look for innovation, sustainability and creativity in award-winning products.
