Farmstead Sink
Refreshing the Modern Farmhouse
Bringing sophistication and warmth to the kitchen, the Farmstead sink reimagines the traditional farmhouse sink with a clean, contemporary update. Crafted from Kohler enameled cast iron with a sleek painted underside, the Farmstead sink can be installed wall-mount with legs or top-mount with custom cabinetry, giving it the look of a unique, hand-constructed piece of furniture. The sink comes with seven custom accessories to simplify food prep and cleanup.
The Farmstead freestanding sink is a flagship product for Kohler Co. In order to keep the project true to its historic roots, a deep dive into the archives was done for inspiration and learnings. The goal was not to recreate the past but to see this an evolution of a traditional farmhouse sink. A modern sink with modern functionality.
Lots of development time was spent with the cast iron team in the foundry to understand what our current capabilities were. A lot had changed from the days of hand poured cast iron. So understanding current processes was key to manufacturing the large basin and solid cast legs.
