Why the Round Sinks?

[The Newell]

Whats with the round kitchen sinks? I have noticed that some Newells have the round kitchen sinks. Now I looked at one with round sinks and they were not very deep and it would be kind of hard to wash dishes in it etc. So what would be the advantage to having a round sink? Has anyone ever thought about this? Just Curious as to why someone would want those types of sinks.

I suspect that the true answer is aesthetics rather than practicality. The Newells use a lot of curved surfaces inside. The round sinks add to that theme but probably isn't the most usable design. My Newell has a gigantic deep sink with a smaller, more shallow sink for the garbage disposal. Great design and very practical. The show coaches are typically built with the small round sinks.
