We introduced mixed metal farm sinks to the world a few years ago, and it has caught on quite a bit. I am 99% certain there is no other company that can weld two dissimilar metals together as perfectly as we do. If someone says they can, ask for close-up photos and reviews from their customers who have sinks like these. Asking those questions should position us as the only company, anywhere, that can do this type of work.
Take a look at this truly one-of-a-kind farm sink—crafted from domestic 316L surgical-grade stainless steel for the basin and interior and finished with a 14-gauge pure copper apron front. It’s the perfect harmony of two premium metals: the effortless maintenance and long-term durability of stainless steel, combined with the visual drama and artistry of hand-patinated copper.

Over the years, we’ve had many clients intrigued by copper but hesitant about committing to a full copper sink—concerned about upkeep or the evolving nature of a living finish. This hybrid approach puts those concerns to rest. You can now enjoy the unmistakable warmth and visual richness of copper, paired with the resilience and ease of stainless. It’s a functional showpiece that enhances your kitchen without complicating your life.
The transition between the two metals is a showcase of precision craftsmanship. There are no adhesives, no shortcuts—just flawless TIG welding that creates a crisp, uninterrupted line where the two materials meet. The weld is virtually invisible, yet structurally seamless. It’s a testament to the level of care and technical mastery our artisans put into every single sink.
The patina on the apron front is where the artistry truly shines. The highlights pick up on the golden tones in surrounding cabinetry, while the deeper lowlights subtly echo the faucet finish, pulling the entire kitchen palette together in a sophisticated, intentional way.
This sink doesn’t just belong in a high-end kitchen—it elevates it.
Take a look at a kitchen that pushes the boundaries of mixed-metal design—executed with precision and purpose. At the heart of the space is a stunning workstation sink: a stainless steel basin known for its resilience and ease of care, paired with a bold, hand-fabricated solid brass apron front that turns the entire piece into functional sculpture.
For those drawn to the warmth of brass but hesitant to commit to a full brass sink, this hybrid design offers the best of both worlds. The brass apron makes a striking first impression while aging gracefully over time, developing a soft patina that adds character without compromising the sink’s usability. Meanwhile, the stainless interior ensures the sink remains easy to clean and worry-free through years of daily use.

The focal point doesn’t stop at the sink. Above it, you'll find a perfectly balanced duo of mixed-metal faucets—stainless and brass—working in visual harmony. This thoughtful layering of metals carries across the entire kitchen, bridging cabinet hardware, lighting, and appliance details to create a cohesive, high-end look that feels curated, not chaotic.
The transition between the stainless bowl and brass apron is surgically clean, thanks to our precise TIG welding process—no glue, no shortcuts. This kind of clean metal-to-metal joinery is rarely seen, especially in a world of mass production.
In the right hands, mixed metals don’t clash—they elevate. This kitchen proves that when done well, blending metals isn’t just a trend. It’s timeless.
