How a sink is made
15 operations, one block. Before we cut, you approve the technical drawing and the block photo; before we ship, the final photos.
Drawing approval — We send a technical drawing with every dimension, hole position and edge detail. Nothing is cut until you sign it off.

01
Block selection
Visible in your order timeline
A block or slab is chosen for your order and photographed. We share the photo before it is cut.
Veining runs differently in every block, so the choice sets how your basin looks.

02
Rough cut
Visible in your order timeline
The block is sawn to an oversize blank, a few centimeters larger than the finished basin.
The extra stone leaves room to correct and to follow the vein across the faces.
03
Outer form
The outside is shaped to the silhouette you ordered. The CNC does the bulk and a craftsman finishes the corners by hand.
The outer form sets every dimension on your approved drawing.
04
Hollowing
Visible in your order timeline
The basin is carved from the inside with a CNC machine, then refined by hand.
Hand work evens out the curve so water drains toward the opening.
05
Fluting
When ordered, vertical ribs are cut into three faces of the block.
The ribs catch light and give the stone a textured, hand-cut look.
06
Backsplash and deck
The integral backsplash or deck is formed from the same block as the basin.
One piece of stone means no joint behind the faucet.
07
Drain hole
Visible in your order timeline
A 45 mm (1¾ in) opening is drilled, in the center or at the rear.
The size fits a standard pop-up drain, so you can buy the fitting locally.
08
Faucet holes
Zero, one or three holes of 35 mm (1⅜ in) are drilled on the deck or the backsplash. Three-hole spacing defaults to 8 in.
Holes are drilled once, so they match the faucet you send us.
09
Edge profile
The rim is eased and finished by hand.
A softened rim is comfortable to touch and chips less.
10
Surface finish
Visible in your order timeline
The surface is polished. Honed or brushed finishes are available on request.
Polish brings out the color and veining of the stone.
11
Sealer
A penetrating sealer is worked into the stone and left to cure.
Sealing slows staining from soap, oil and water.
12
Bracket preparation
The rear face is prepared for the hidden steel wall bracket.
A prepared seat lets the basin sit flat and carry its weight on the wall.
13
Quality check
We measure the basin against your approved drawing and photograph it from every side.
Any difference from the drawing is found here, before the basin leaves the workshop.

Crating
Visible in your order timeline
The basin sits in a foam mold inside a double-wall plywood crate. It is strapped and labeled on four faces.
Stone is heavy and brittle at the edges, so the crate does the protecting.
15
Delivery
Visible in your order timeline
The crate ships insured with duties paid (DDP). Transit takes 5–12 days, depending on the distance, and we share tracking.
You pay no customs bill at the door.
