San Luis Obispo, California, USA
Launched in celebration of Native Trails’ 25th anniversary, the Rendezvous farmhouse sink from the brand’s Precious Metals collection features a sumptuous, curved apron front with a precious metal finish that boasts luxury and refinement.
This project has recently been awarded a 2021 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
To bring the collection to life, Native Trails worked with fireclay master craftspeople in central Italy to combine age-old artisan techniques with modern design.
Featuring radiant finishes that exude beauty and grandeur, Rendezvous represents the finest aesthetic of luxury while paying homage to the past.
With a selection of glazes offered in genuine 24k matte gold, platinum, and silver, in honor of the company’s silver anniversary, the beautiful and durable fireclay sink will endure the test of time as an heirloom for generations.
The Umbrian region of central Italy, with its exceptional clay soils, has a long history of ceramics going back to the Bronze Age.
It also boasts a rich heritage of gold and silversmiths that used ancient methods to create beautiful metallic glazes over handmade pottery. Rendezvous reflects both of these artisan traditions.
The high-quality fireclay sinks are fired twice at temperatures reaching over 2200 degrees, then glazed by hand with genuine precious metal glazes and fired a third time.
The sinks are then sealed through a proprietary process to ensure they uphold a luxury aesthetic while also boasting unparalleled durability for long-lasting performance and beauty.
Like all Native Trails products, Rendezvous from the Precious Metals collection is available through over 1,300 showrooms throughout the United States and Canada.
