THE CLOISONNE SINK STORY
Cloisonné is an ancient art form that is most commonly used in creating jewelry and small art objects. The art of cloisonné is familiar among those who enjoy art from Asia
as well as designers, architects and most end consumers. This art includes form-melting various colours of glass within copper wire design compartments has not changed for
700 years. Linkasink’s cloisonné sinks are authentically hand crafted at a factory
in China that has been creating cloisonné objects since the 14th Century. Raw copper bowls serve as the structural base for the sink. Copper ribbons are bent to form the design patterns. These cloisonné pieces are attached to the copper sink. The areas formed by the cloisonné wire designs are filled with powdered glass. The sink is fired in a kiln to melt the glass. For multi-colored sinks, each color is filled and fired separately. Each sink is individually polished by machine and by hand to create the smooth finish.
