GFRC + Good Design...
SHARE Last week, we received a few fantastic photos of a custom GFRC sink, designed and fabricated by Gore Design Co., the Tempe-based design studio whose work blends artistry, function, sustainability and innovation to create intrinsically unique and beautiful work.
Photographed by John Romero, the images themselves are a testament to Gore's attention to detail and appreciation of good design on all scales, and it's been great working with Brandon, the creative and highly skilled concrete master at the helm of Gore Design Co.- a team of pioneers and artists who share a passion for not only the material, but its potential to transform, inspire and define space. It's inspiring to see those values manifested in their work, as evidenced in the detail shots below of the custom Erosion Sink: a well-crafted and thoughtfully-designed work of functional art...

That said, we highly encourage a visit to their website to learn more about Gore Design Co.'s design aesthetic, work, philosophy and wit that represents a forward-thinking approach to not only form and function, but innovation, sustainability, and, of course, concrete.

I love these! I remember seeing this a few years ago as an art installation - so awesome that you can actually get it in your home! Thanks for sharing Lauren.
It's a clever idea to pattern a sink from an erosion. It seems to me that the material is made by nature. This is the first time I see a sample of Gore's designs. I'll definitely check their site to see more collections!
The quality of the material is beautiful- we're really looking forward to seeing it installed in a few weeks... and we'll definitely keep you posted! cheers, jason+lauren
I visited their website and the products are very impressive. I imagine that seeing the sink options in person would give me a better understanding of the functionality, they appear shallow in the photos. I really like the organic nature of the sink, so cool.
Hi Lynne- you're right- the sink is, in fact, fairly shallow where the faucet extends from the wall... yet it still functions perfectly. The water is gently directed by the subtle contours, which are perfectly located along the six foot (total) length of the sink/counter.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
