I don't know which brasserie you are talking of but there is a material called "Corian" which is made of finely ground stone in epoxy resin. Very hard and smooth, scratch resistant surface, sharp edges.

Don't be put off by the designs on the dupont site, Corian is a super material, not cheap though.

i've been told the sink is just a resin...not sure about brand, mix, etc...

here's a link to a local (atl) firm who does nice concrete countertops...they can answer all your questions. check out their studio images...maybe you can get an idea of what you need to do.

(but not cheap, in a niche market with few competitors willing to deal with architects)

it is rasin.

for nyc area and looking for cast concrete, there are a few places in brooklyn. i met a couple of them at icff this year (and last year, and the year before...) try the internet or yellowpages.

i also met with a woman who reps rhodes architectural stone. They are out in seattle. I dont' have the woman's number with me. But you can check out www.rhodes.org they do fantastic antique stone recycle, but they also do concrete counter tops.

a rasin sink??? When it gets wet, does it turn back into a grape???
