Inspired Functionality, Artisan Craftsmanship
What makes the San Cristobal sink special is its centered third basin—designed for extra convenience in everyday cooking. It allows for a dedicated food prep area or drying zone, giving your kitchen workflow new efficiency.

Crafted by Master Copper Artisans in Mexico
Each San Cristobal copper kitchen sink is handcrafted in Santa Clara del Cobre, a town famed for its metalworking traditions. Every detail—from the curvature of the basins to the texture of the hammer marks—is done by hand using heritage techniques. These artisanal touches ensure your sink is not only practical but also a one-of-a-kind addition to your home.
Artisan Testimony
"The triple-basin layout is complex to build but rewarding—it's where form meets function. We hammer each panel by hand, and the result is a sink with heart, depth, and utility."
— Juan Carlos Hernández, Copper Artisan, Santa Clara del Cobre
Installation & Care
The sink is ready for drop-in mounting into stone, tile, or wood countertops and features standard 3.5" drain holes in all basins. For care, simply clean with mild soap and a soft cloth.
