Ryan Fowler — March 26, 2013 — Art & Design
This crystal-encrusted sink is the perfect accessory for your luxury dream kitchen. Franke Kitchen Systems and International Stone Collections have united to create this show-stopping Amethyst Sink, which is designed by Jake Levy. The pillar of this sink was picked in a very specific manner from Italy and is made out of the finest handcrafted marble. The sink basin itself is made out of high-grade amethyst found in Uruguay.
The piece of amethyst chosen weighed in at 500 pounds raw, and after handcrafting and placing the crystals, it was reduced to a weight of 80 pounds. This one-of-a-kind piece took almost an entire year to create and will be going on a mini world tour starting in Kuwait, then venturing all the way to the United Kingdom with its final stop in Switzerland. After the tour, this luxury dream kitchen sink will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
