5/24/2007 -- OAK BROOK, IL - May 2007 - Elkay combined the imagination of its customers, the inspiration of its designers and innovation of its product development team to create this new addition to the Mystic sink family. New Mystic model (MYSTIC3021BG) maintains the signature elements of the Elkay Mystic sinks with its contemporary, naturally flowing shape and organic feel, while also incorporating new design facets.

Elkay Mystic

Emulating an oversized rectangular shape, the new Mystic incorporates a gentle wave in one corner, providing the perfect place to pair an Elkay single-mount, contemporary faucet. The new single bowl Elkay Mystic sink features a truly innovative design with its removable, heavy-duty, 12-gauge thick stainless work surface shelf, which is suspended on three sides by a unique bi-level bowl created to receive the shelf without clips or stanchions. This Mystic's original design allows the homeowner to enjoy the attractive, large single bowl style they desire, while the removable shelf enhances the sink's functionality, by providing an added work surface. The shelf itself enjoys a creative surface design featuring a pattern of repeating circles, adding to the contemporary geometry of the overall aesthetic.

This Elkay Mystic is made from thick, durable 18-gauge steel and comes with an 8-inch deep bowl, which is an ergonomically friendly depth for a primary kitchen sink. This off-set drain sink includes the stainless work grid and features a lustrous satin finish that will maintain its look for years to come. In addition, all Elkay sinks feature a fully undercoated bottom for superior sound dampening capabilities. The MSRP price for this new Mystic sink is $1,100.
