Abstract
A sink includes a basin including a base wall and lateral walls adjoining the base wall, with the basin including a receiving area delimited by the base wall and the lateral walls. An insert plate separate from the basin is inserted into the receiving area and moveable by a lifting device relative to the basin. An interaction unit is provided to detect an influencing factor involving an operating state of the sink, and/or a change in the operating state of the sink, and/or an operating action by a user of the sink, with the lifting device automatically changing a position of the insert plate in response to a detection of the influencing factor by the interaction unit.
