Linkasink Cloisonne Bath Sinks

Linkasink has made the 14th century Chinese craft of cloisonne relevant in today’s bath market with its handcrafted sinks.

To create the vibrant and intricate cloisonne designs, wire and powdered glass are fused to a copper bowl. First, individual ribbons of copper wire are soldered to a copper bowl. The voids between the wires are then packed with powdered glass and then fired to fuse the glass to the metal. The process is repeated several times to accomplish variations of color. The sink is ground and polished smooth to create a resilient surface as hard as porcelain that requires no special care.

The art of cloisonne was perfected by the Chinese, but can be found in use with the ancient Egyptians. Based on these traditions, Linkasink continues to expand their handcrafted line of cloisonne sinks in numerous styles and color variations of cloisonne. These sinks are handcrafted in China exclusively for Linkasink.

This functional piece of art requires no special care and can be a vessel or undermount installation. Linkasink recently introduced an oval shaped cloisonne sink in addition to the popular round bowls in the line.

I saw a sink like that in the Jaz Hotel in Alexandria, Egypt. I never thought I'd see one like that for sale in the states.
