A good kitchen sink holds water. A great one holds the whole job. The Atelier is a copper kitchen sink built like a workbench — a deep hammered farmhouse basin with slim ledges running along the inside of the rim, and a solid copper drain board that rests across them. Rinse the vegetables and set them on the board. Wash the glasses and let them drain above the bowl. Slide the board aside and the full basin is open again for stock pots and roasting trays. Everything happens in one place, and everything is copper.
The drain board is cut from the same copper as the sink and punched through by hand with neat rows of round perforations, so water falls straight back into the basin instead of pooling on the counter. Beneath it, the ledges are formed into the basin walls themselves — part of the sink, not an add-on — hammered in the same dense texture as the rim and the interior. Outside, the straight apron front is hand hammered edge to edge, its softly rounded corners wrapping into the sides, the whole piece finished in a deep, even antique copper the colour of well-used cookware. It is a farmhouse kitchen sink that works like a professional prep station and looks like it came out of an old country kitchen.
The copper is left unlacquered, so the Atelier keeps changing with the kitchen it lives in. The drain board and basin floor, where water touches most, will deepen first; the apron will follow slowly, warming wherever hands and hips meet it. Nothing to peel, nothing to chip — just a working copper sink that looks better the harder it works.

Every hevna sink is solid, unlacquered metal — no coating, no sealer. The finish is the metal, so it lives and changes with use. We build for that.
Copper — starts bright and warm, then settles into rich russet and chocolate browns.
Brass — starts golden, then warms into deep amber and soft antique brown.
High-touch areas darken first — that's the patina starting where your hands are, not damage.
Want it bright? A wipe of polish brings the shine back in minutes.
Want it aged? Do nothing — it earns a deep, even tone on its own.
"Blotchy" early on is normal — the finish settling, not a defect. Any spot wipes back to bright in seconds.
Prefer a different finish for this sink? Contact us — we'll help you find the right one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose copper or brass?
Both are solid metal with a living finish, so it comes down to tone and what the sink sits next to.
Copper runs warm and reddish, ages into deep browns, and the hammered texture hides water spots and small marks better than any other material.
Brass runs golden and pairs cleanly with brass faucets and hardware for a coordinated look. Neither is more durable than the other.
Pick the one that matches the warmth you want in the room. The exact finish and dimensions of each are in the product specifications.
How does the unlacquered brass patina develop?
Gauge is the thickness of the metal, and a lower number means thicker.
Thicker metal resists dents from heavy pots and cast iron. The exact gauge of each sink is listed in its specifications.
Our sinks are made heavy enough for daily kitchen use, and on the hammered models the texture also disguises the small marks that show up instantly on smooth stainless steel.
What gauge is the metal, and will it dent?
Yes. A brass polish, or lemon juice with baking soda, brings it back to bright gold in a few minutes.
The patina is always reversible. You choose: polish it monthly and keep the shine, or leave it alone and let it develop. Neither choice is wrong.
Does it work with a garbage disposal?
Yes. The drain opening follows the standard US 3.5 inch size, so standard disposals fit the same way they would on any kitchen sink.
Check the product specifications for the exact drain details on your model. If your disposal is an uncommon brand, a standard adapter handles it.
Do I need to reinforce my cabinet?
A solid copper or brass sink is heavier than stainless.
Most standard cabinets handle a drop-in or undermount with no changes. Apron-front and farmhouse installs carry more weight at the front, so have your installer confirm the cabinet support before fitting.
The weight of each model is listed in its specifications so you can plan ahead.
Can I leave dishes, lemon, or acidic food in it?
Acidic food left sitting will darken that spot faster than the rest of the sink. This is cosmetic, not damage.
It speeds the patina in one area, and the tone evens out with normal use or a quick wipe.
Rinse the basin after use and the finish stays uniform. If you prefer a slower, more even patina, an occasional coat of wax does it.
Will it tarnish, and can I change it back?
It will patina, and that is the point of a living finish.
Copper deepens into rich browns, brass into a warm antique gold. If you ever want the bright look back, a metal polish made for the material restores it in minutes.
The aging is always reversible. You decide whether to polish it or let it live.
Is the inside sealed or a raw living finish?
This varies by model and is stated in the product specifications. Some are left raw to age naturally, others are waxed for a slower, more even patina. Check the listing for the exact finish of the sink you want.
Is copper really more hygienic?
Copper surfaces naturally resist bacteria, neutralizing it on contact over hours where stainless steel can hold it for days. It is one of the oldest reasons kitchens used copper. Brass is a copper alloy and shares the trait to a degree. Either way, normal cleaning keeps the basin sound.
How do I clean it?
Warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, bleach, and harsh acidic cleaners, which strip the patina unevenly. To slow the aging, an occasional coat of wax. To embrace it, do nothing at all.
How long does shipping take?
After processing: US 3 to 5 business days, UK and EU 3 to 7 business days, rest of the world up to 14 business days. Delivered to your door, tracked and insured. No extra delivery fees. Duties and taxes are included.

Return it within 60 days of delivery, unused and in its original packaging, for a full refund.
No restocking fee. If you have a question before you reach that point, contact us first. Most issues are simpler to solve than a return.
