Slow Design: Eleek Sink

From Janet:

The last kitchen sink you will even need. Eleek’s recycled cast-aluminum sinks can be passed down for generations—that’s part of the ethic of Portland, OR–based Eleek, which makes its products from 100 percent recycled aluminum (80 percent sourced within 50 miles of their operation). Visit them at eleek.com.
