The architecture firm Minarc designed and built a kitchen sink that's made from old rubber tires. It's called RUBBiSH and is made in the following manner:
The rubber from the tires is melted down and cleansed of debris, and the tiny inherent metal fibers that give a tire its road resistance are then formed into a sheet. This sheet is stretched over a base frame—made of wood, metal, or any other material out of which bathroom furniture can be fashioned—and anchored down by the drain collar. This creates a shallow-sloped surface for water to be siphoned away, but not a clunky profile; in fact, the material used is so minimal that, the manufacturer claims, the sinks use less than one pound of rubber.

Umm, that looks more like a pie than a sink. The pie is a lie. ;)

I am amazed at how much this sink looks like a star wars pie.

If you look at the pic of the sink in the link, you'll see it's a big FAIL. There's no "bowl" to the sink, so the water will just go everywhere if you try to wash your hands or anything.

I agree with Craig. I hate sinks like this, basically just a small depression with a drain. Give me a big old slop sink for some A#1 utility.

I liked the pie better, John.

I like the idea, it's neat.

I think tires made from recycled sinks would be more practical.
