A Compact Round Vessel Sink For Modern Vanity Statements
The Karran Cinox CCV300SS is a round stainless steel vessel sink that sits above the vanity surface, delivering a bold, furniture-like presence without requiring any countertop cutout for the bowl itself. At 15-3/4 inches in diameter and 4-3/4 inches deep, it brings a refined industrial edge to bathroom vanities where the fixture is meant to be noticed, finished in a rich Gunmetal Gray that reads dark and sophisticated under any lighting.
Key Features
• Brushed stainless steel construction provides a durable, non-porous basin surface suited to daily bathroom use.
• Gunmetal Gray finish delivers a dark, contemporary look that coordinates with matte black and dark-toned hardware.
• Round vessel form sits entirely above the vanity surface, making it a visual centerpiece without a recessed cutout.
• Compact 15-3/4 inch diameter fits on narrower vanity tops while still offering a substantial basin presence.
• 4-3/4 inch bowl depth provides functional handwashing capacity within the vessel profile.
Where This Sink Belongs
Vessel sinks change how a vanity reads in a room. Rather than disappearing into the countertop, the Cinox sits on top of it, turning the basin into part of the design. That makes it a natural fit for powder rooms and primary baths where the vanity is meant to make an impression, as well as guest baths that see occasional use and benefit from a high-impact look without a high-maintenance footprint. The round silhouette works especially well on floating vanities and slab stone tops where a clean, minimal surround lets the form stand on its own. Because the bowl mounts above the surface, it also works on tops that are not cut for undermount installations, including solid surface and specialty slabs where a full cutout is not practical.
Finish and Material Details
The Cinox collection is built in brushed stainless steel, and the Gunmetal Gray finish takes that material into darker, more dramatic territory. Where standard stainless reads bright and utilitarian, Gunmetal Gray has enough depth to pair naturally with matte black faucets, dark-bronze accessories, and charcoal or slate tile surround work. The stainless bowl itself is non-porous and easy to wipe clean, holding up to daily splashing and soap residue without absorbing stains. For faucets, vessel installations require a taller faucet, wall-mount faucet, or dedicated vessel faucet so the spout clears the bowl rim comfortably. A standard short deck faucet will not reach the bowl interior.
Who Specifies This Sink
Designers and cabinet shops staging a vanity upgrade often reach for a vessel sink as the lowest-disruption path to a dramatic result: no major countertop surgery, no recessed cabinet coordination, just a compelling fixture on top of an existing or new top. Homeowners renovating a powder room on a defined budget get a premium look without the full stone fabrication that an undermount installation often demands. Contractors working in new construction find the vessel install straightforward, with faucet selection being the primary coordination point. The 15-3/4 inch round footprint keeps countertop clearance predictable on standard 21-inch-deep vanity tops.
Does this sink require a drain? Is one included?
A drain is not included and must be purchased separately. Select a vessel-style drain or pop-up drain sized for the bowl's drain opening. Confirm the drain finish coordinates with Gunmetal Gray, since the two will be visible together in the installed sink.
What faucet height works with a vessel sink at this bowl depth?
Because the bowl sits 4-3/4 inches above the vanity deck and the spout needs to reach inside, a tall vessel faucet or wall-mount faucet is the right pairing. The exact faucet height depends on your countertop thickness and the faucet's deck-to-spout measurement, so check both before ordering.
Does the sink require any cutout in the countertop?
The bowl itself sits on top of the counter with no cutout needed for the basin. You will still need a hole through the countertop for the drain and, if deck-mounting the faucet, a hole for the faucet body. The countertop surface around those openings remains intact.
What countertop materials work under this vessel sink?
Because the bowl mounts above the surface rather than into it, most solid countertop materials are compatible, including stone, quartz, solid surface, and wood. The countertop just needs to be level, structurally sound, and finished where it will be visible around the bowl's base.
A Fixture That Does the Talking
The Cinox round vessel sink in Gunmetal Gray gives a vanity a focal point that feels intentional rather than incidental, and its compact round form keeps the installation clean on any top that can hold it.
