This is a re-shoot of a piece I made for some special clients a few years ago. I was visiting there today and happened to take a few more pictures for the archives. It features my "Crenellated Bronze sink"integrally cast in a poured concrete vanity top. The frame is in stainless steel with a true acid patina to give it the bronze match. The towel bars on the end and beneath are in forged stainless steel. The mirror frame is also in bronze. This was a site specific design concept from start to finish.
Again I will say;all concrete pieces are accomplished with the creative collaboration of Patrick Miller of : [link]
yea, might end up cheaper, and they used to do it a lot for noveaue (however you spell that) pieces, so they had the bronze 'look' without the cost. I think you can do it to iron castings fairly well, dunno with steel, but yea worth looking at.
*wants a sink like that now*
I am actually exploring that as an option.
