Luxury Custom Kitchen Sinks Handcrafted in the USA
At Rachiele, true luxury begins with personal attention. Every custom kitchen sink starts with a private Zoom consultation with our founder, Dino Rachiele, who brings decades of professional kitchen design experience to your project.
Our comprehensive Concierge Project Coordination service extends well beyond designing your sink. We work directly with your cabinetmaker, countertop fabricator, and plumber to ensure every detail is properly coordinated.
You shouldn't have to manage all these details yourself. We take that responsibility seriously, allowing you to enjoy the process while we help bring your vision to life.
You think you are looking at a workstation sink; you're likely not getting one!
If you are searching for the best luxury custom kitchen sink, start with criteria, not a logo. Material grade, true made-to-order fit, welding and finish quality, living-metal honesty, warranty paperwork, and who actually designs the sink. Those are the differences that show up every day for decades.

Four Metals, 25 Finishes
Every Rachiele sink is made to order in your choice of stainless steel, copper, bronze, or brass.
Stainless steel: hand finished, hammered hand finished, and Millennia. Brushed and hammered brushed are also available, but we discourage them for home kitchens because a brushed surface shows scratches from the first day and is very hard to restore.
Copper: raw, weathered, hammered raw, and hammered weathered.
Bronze: raw, weathered, hammered raw, and hammered weathered.
Brass: raw, weathered, hammered raw, and hammered weathered.
Farmhouse aprons in copper, bronze, and brass can also be finished with eight patina options, plus our unlimited custom patina option, so your apron can be one of a kind.

What Only a Rachiele Custom Sink Offers
Every Rachiele® sink is designed and handcrafted from raw metal in our own shop in Apopka, Florida. It is never imported or chosen from a catalog. Because we build each one to order, any sink can be a true custom workstation sink, sized and configured for your kitchen in stainless steel or 14-gauge copper, brass or bronze. Each one is hand-signed, and we limit production to about 300 custom sinks a year, a standard we have kept since 1999.
A Rachiele sink is not a catalog product with a custom finish option. It is designed around how you cook, then handcrafted in our Apopka, Florida workshop. Here is what that includes.
You work directly with Dino Rachiele. He has been a professional kitchen designer since 1977 and has designed custom sinks since 1999. Every project starts with a private Zoom consultation with Dino, not a sales team or a call center.
Complimentary Concierge Project Coordination. We work directly with your cabinetmaker, countertop fabricator, and plumber so fit, reveal, plumbing, and timing stay coordinated. You do not have to manage those details alone.
Complimentary kitchen design review. When your floor plan needs a second set of eyes, Dino reviews the layout with the sink and workflow in mind before cabinets are locked in.
No bottom grid required. Rachiele sinks are designed to be used without a permanent basin grate, which traps food and creates places for bacteria to collect. Hand-finished 316L lets you remove everyday scratches. Living metals develop a self-healing patina.
Honest stainless finishes. There is no such thing as a scratch-proof stainless steel sink. Textured finishes only help mask scratches. We say so plainly and finish stainless by hand so scratches can be worked out.
Drawing approval before fabrication. You receive a custom drawing to review. You can request changes or cancel for a full refund before you approve production.
Limited production. About 300 custom sinks a year, each individually handcrafted and signed by the artisans who made it.
Lifetime transferable warranty on the sink and metal accessories, with a three-year warranty on butcher-grade cutting boards, plus our Thrilled Guarantee.
Accessories sold a la carte. Foundation Series stainless sinks start at $2,490. A typical 36-inch Foundation Series sink with the accessories most clients choose runs about $3,500 to $4,200. You pay only for what you want.
Phone and Zoom available seven days a week, including holiday weekends, from our Apopka shop.
Exceptional Materials. Individually Handcrafted. Built for Generations.
316L Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel
We use premium, domestic 16-gauge, cold-rolled 316L stainless steel, selected for its exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly in welded areas. Unlike conventional 316, its low carbon content significantly reduces the risk of corrosion around welds.
Learn why the "L" in 316L stainless steel matters.
But our greatest distinction is our proprietary MicroWelded™ corners, used in our stainless steel, brass, and bronze sinks. This precision craftsmanship sets Rachiele apart from conventional sink fabrication, delivering exceptionally clean corners with minimal interior radius.
Our copper, brass, and bronze sinks are individually handcrafted from substantial 14-gauge, cold-rolled architectural metals. Each develops its own distinctive character and beautiful natural patina over time.
Our proprietary MicroWelded™ corners provide exceptionally precise interior corners on brass and bronze sinks. Because copper is a softer metal, we fuse both the inside and outside corners, naturally creating a smooth 1/8-inch interior radius that makes cleaning easier.
The Original Workstation Sink. Invented by Dino Rachiele.
In 2010, Dino Rachiele introduced the first documented workstation kitchen sink, changing how people prepare food and work in their kitchens. That innovation began a new category of kitchen sinks and led to additional patented designs.
Today, we continue to refine the workstation concept, focusing on ergonomics, efficiency, and thoughtful design rather than simply adding more accessories.

Luxury Custom Kitchen Sink FAQ
What is the best luxury custom kitchen sink?
The best luxury custom kitchen sink is one designed specifically for you, not simply selected from a catalog. It should combine exceptional materials, precision craftsmanship, thoughtful ergonomics, and a manufacturer who stands behind every detail.
At Rachiele, you work directly with our founder, Dino Rachiele, whose nearly 50 years of kitchen design experience help ensure your sink is as comfortable and functional as it is beautiful.
What makes a luxury custom sink different from a premium catalog sink?
A premium catalog sink requires you to choose from predetermined sizes and configurations. A truly custom Rachiele sink is designed around you. Your height, reach, comfort, kitchen layout, cooking habits, and personal preferences all influence the design. With nearly 50 years of professional kitchen design experience, Dino Rachiele personally guides you through those decisions, creating a sink that fits you rather than requiring you to adapt to it.
Does Rachiele make luxury custom kitchen sinks in metals other than stainless?
Absolutely. In addition to our premium 316L stainless steel, we handcraft custom sinks from substantial 14-gauge, cold-rolled copper, brass, and bronze. These beautiful living metals naturally develop distinctive patinas that give each sink its own character. Every sink is individually crafted to complement your kitchen and personal preferences.
Is Rachiele the best choice for a luxury custom kitchen sink?
True luxury is having an experienced professional you can trust to take care of the details, freeing you to spend your time on the things that matter most.
With nearly 50 years of professional kitchen design experience, Dino Rachiele personally guides your sink design and coordinates directly with your kitchen designer, cabinetmaker, cabinet installer, countertop fabricator, general contractor, plumber, and even your electrician when necessary.
Rather than spending your valuable time coordinating multiple professionals, you have one trusted expert overseeing the details of your sink project from beginning to end.
At Rachiele, luxury isn't simply what you purchase. It's the experience of having someone you trust take care of everything.
Where are Rachiele luxury custom kitchen sinks made? Every Rachiele custom sink is individually handcrafted in our Apopka, Florida workshop by a dedicated team of skilled American artisans. We intentionally limit production to approximately 300 custom sinks annually, allowing us to maintain exceptional craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and personal accountability for every sink that leaves our shop.
Is there such a thing as a scratch-proof stainless steel sink?
No. There is no such thing as a scratch-proof stainless steel sink. As the British Stainless Steel Association explains, the austenitic stainless steels used for sinks are not particularly hard, and textured finishes only help mask scratches; they do not prevent them. That is why our 316L stainless steel sinks are individually hand-finished, allowing everyday scratches to be easily removed.
Do I need a bottom grid in my kitchen sink?
Absolutely not. Rachiele sinks are designed to be used without permanent bottom grids, which trap food particles, make cleaning more difficult, and create additional surfaces where bacteria can accumulate.
Our hand-finished 316L stainless steel allows everyday scratches to be easily removed, while our copper, brass, and bronze sinks naturally develop beautiful, self-healing patinas that help conceal normal wear.
The result is a cleaner, easier-to-maintain sink without the inconvenience of constantly removing and washing a bottom grid.
Unlike conventional stainless steel sinks, our hand-finished 316L surgical-grade stainless steel sinks allow you to remove everyday scratches quickly and easily. This exclusive process eliminates the need for an awkward bottom grid, making your sink easier to clean and maintain while preserving its beautiful finish for a lifetime.
