Gore Design Co. has made a name for itself since its 2004 inception by creating design-forward, environmentally responsible products for residential and commercial application. Today I earmarked Gore’s Erosion Sink for when I build my first house. It may be the digital cartographer in me coming out (that was a former job of mine), but I love how Gore uses contour lines to step down the elevation of this sink into the off-set drain area. The sink is made of concrete — as are many of Gore’s designs — which is “organic, timeless, a true reflection of nature’s beauty.” I find myself falling for concrete more and more as a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing building ingredient– it’s a material for which the possibilities are endless.

Hello Anonymous,

There has been quite a bit of buzz around this sink. It seems that most folks love the design, but a concern I have noticed has been how to clean this sink.

Each Erosion Sink takes more than 40 hours of hand-crafting to create just the sink mold itself. Most of that time is spent rounding and smoothing the layer transitions so there are no sharp corners for dirt and grime to accumulate. We then seal each piece with an industry leading water based sealer that was initially developed for the aeronautical industry but was found to work extremely well on concrete. Needless to say, this sealer far outperforms all other concrete sealers on the market.

The combination of the smooth transitions and nearly stain-proof sealer make this sink a breeze to clean. Simply mist the sink with cleaner and wipe with a towel. The owner of the sink pictured has used it on a daily basis for more than a year now with no upkeep issues.

Should you have any additional questions or concerns, feel free to email me directly at brandon@goredesignco.com

Dear Brandon,

I love this sink! I stumbled across it when googling “coolest sink ever.” I’m putting it on my must have list for the home we will buy soon. Congratulations, the attention this beauty is gathering is well deserved!

Peace, christine
