Vintage Kreonite Industrial Darkroom Sink – 106" Wide

Description :
This rare Kreonite Inc. industrial sink is a striking relic from mid-century photographic darkrooms. Made in Wichita, Kansas, the sink is constructed of molded fiberglass in a bold mint green color that remains vivid and visually impactful. Designed for heavy-duty photographic processing, the unit includes multiple integrated faucet mounts, drainage holes, and back and side splashes. Still mounted on a sturdy custom wood base, the piece could be creatively repurposed as a statement utility sink, garden workstation, or commercial wash station. Its elongated 106" span and deep 34" height offer serious utility and presence. The unit shows wear consistent with prior use, including some scuffs, staining, and chipped enamel, which do not compromise its structural integrity.
