Karran Cinox Vessel Sink For an Industrial-Modern Vanity Statement
The Cinox CCV400GG is a brushed stainless steel oval vessel sink finished in Gunmetal Gray, designed to sit above the vanity surface as a bold, sculptural focal point. Part of Karran's Cinox stainless vessel collection, this bowl brings an industrial-modern aesthetic to residential and boutique-commercial bathroom projects where design and material quality share equal weight.
Key Features
• Oval vessel form delivers a clean, above-counter profile that works with a wide range of vanity top materials and styles.
• Gunmetal Gray finish offers a darker, matte-toned alternative to standard brushed stainless, coordinating readily with matte black and dark bronze fixtures.
• Stainless steel construction provides a non-porous, hard-wearing bowl surface suited to daily bathroom use.
• Above-counter vessel mounting installs over a drain opening in the vanity top, with no countertop cutout required for the bowl itself.
• No faucet holes on the bowl means the faucet mounts through the vanity top or wall, keeping the bowl's exterior unbroken.
Where This Sink Fits the Project
Vessel sinks change how a vanity reads in a room. Rather than recessing into the counter, the bowl sits proud of the surface, drawing the eye and turning a utilitarian fixture into part of the room's composition. The Gunmetal Gray finish pushes that effect further: where a polished or standard brushed stainless vessel reads as sleek and neutral, Gunmetal Gray reads as intentional and design-forward. It pairs naturally with matte black faucets, dark bronze hardware, and vanity tops in concrete, dark stone, or charcoal wood tones.
Because the bowl mounts above the counter, a tall vessel faucet is required for proper clearance. Plan faucet selection around the bowl's 4-1/2 inch height above the vanity surface so the spout clears the rim comfortably. The faucet mounts through the vanity top, not through the bowl, so the number of holes in the top governs the faucet configuration.
Material and Finish
Stainless steel is a practical choice for a vessel bowl. The surface is non-porous and will not absorb soap residue, mineral deposits, or cosmetic products the way softer materials can. The Gunmetal Gray finish deepens the natural tone of the steel, giving the bowl a matte, darkened appearance that distinguishes it from conventional brushed finishes. Routine cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap is all that is needed to maintain the surface. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners, which can dull or scratch the finish over time.
Who Orders This Bowl
Designers specifying a primary or guest bath where the hardware finish palette runs dark will find the Gunmetal Gray a straightforward coordination solution — it anchors the sink alongside pulls, faucets, and accessories in similar tones without forcing an exact match. Cabinet shops and contractors building custom vanities appreciate the vessel format because it simplifies the countertop work: the drain opening is the only cut required, and the bowl sits above the surface independent of the top's thickness or edge profile. Homeowners renovating a powder room or master bath who want a fixture that reads as a design upgrade rather than a standard replacement will find the combination of material and finish does the work without added decoration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this sink require a vessel faucet specifically?
Yes. Because the bowl sits above the vanity top, a standard short faucet will not clear the rim. Choose a vessel faucet or wall-mount faucet with enough height to reach comfortably into the bowl.
Is the drain included with this sink?
The drain is not included and is sold separately. Select a drain that matches the drain opening size and coordinates with the Gunmetal Gray finish.
How does Gunmetal Gray differ from standard brushed stainless?
Gunmetal Gray is a darker, matte-toned finish applied over the stainless steel. It reads as a distinct, intentional color choice rather than the neutral silver tone of conventional brushed stainless, and it coordinates more directly with matte black and dark bronze fixtures.
Can this bowl be installed as an undermount instead of a vessel?
No. The Cinox CCV400GG is designed as a vessel sink and is intended for above-counter installation only.
What countertop materials work with this vessel sink?
Because the bowl mounts above the surface, it is compatible with virtually any countertop material — quartz, stone, solid surface, laminate, wood, or concrete — as long as a drain opening can be made through the top.
A Vessel Sink That Earns Its Place in the Design
The Cinox CCV400GG in Gunmetal Gray gives any vanity a material and finish combination that does not require surrounding decoration to make an impression — the bowl is the detail.
