The Inspiring Journey of Dino Rachiele

---

 It all began with a simple but powerful idea from Dino Rachiele: transform the heart of the home—the kitchen—into a space that functions as beautifully as it feels.

After more than two decades as a kitchen designer, Dino had seen firsthand how conventional sinks failed the modern cook. They were adequate—but far from inspiring. They didn’t make life easier. They didn’t anticipate real needs.

Driven by a deep love of cooking, the warmth of his Italian-American upbringing, and an expert eye for design, Dino set out to change that. What started as a personal mission quickly evolved into a movement—one that redefined what a sink could be.

At the core of it all was something deeper than design. It was the memory of growing up in a home where cooking began in the morning, and the meal didn’t truly end until late into the night. Where hours were spent around the table—not just eating—but telling stories, laughing, passing plates, and passing down values.

That feeling—the richness of connection, the unhurried joy of shared meals, the kitchen as a living, breathing part of the family—is what continues to drive every sink we create. We’re not just building sinks. We’re building tools for a life well-lived, for kitchens that serve not just meals, but memories.

In 1999, in the small town of Apopka, Florida, Rachiele Custom Sinks was born.

From the beginning, Dino insisted on using only the finest American-made materials—316L surgical-grade stainless steel, pure copper, brass, and bronze. Not just for their beauty and strength, but for their ability to stand the test of time in the real world of daily life. This was never just about building sinks. It was about crafting enduring tools for living—pieces that could quietly support the rhythm of a family meal, day after day, year after year. Because when something is made with intention, when it’s built by hand, and built to last—it becomes more than a fixture. It becomes part of the story.

The impact was immediate. Homeowners who chose a Rachiele sink weren’t just satisfied; they were thrilled. Our success isn’t measured in sales. It’s measured in thank-you notes. Our sinks didn’t just fill a space in the kitchen; they transformed it. Our secret ingredient is empathy, not just engineering.

Staying out of the spotlight isn’t an oversight—it’s a philosophy.

We don’t chase trends, and we certainly don’t chase attention. Instead, we focus on what matters: heirloom-quality craftsmanship, intelligent design, and a customer experience rooted in conversation—not salesmanship.

Our sinks aren’t mass-produced. They’re thoughtfully curated—each one built by hand, from pure American metal, to suit the needs of a single person or family. You won’t find us in flashy ads or big-box catalogs. We don’t need to be everywhere. We only need to be exactly right for those who find us.

Welcome. We’re glad you’re here.
