Linkasink Cloisonné Sinks
Linkasink has made the 14th century Chinese craft of cloisonné relevant in today’s bath market with its handcrafted sinks. To create the vibrant and intricate cloisonné 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. This functional piece of art requires no special care and can be a vessel or undermount installation. Available in round and oval shapes.
