Oliveri Santorini collection
The Santorini Collection is a range from Oliveri, built around kitchen sinks made from a moulded granite composite construction, alongside matching kitchen taps and accessories designed to coordinate with the sinks. It suits anyone renovating or fitting out a kitchen who wants a sink material with a different look and feel to standard stainless steel, along with the option to match tapware and accessories from the same range for a coordinated finish.
What granite composite construction offers
Santorini sinks are made using a moulded granite composite process, which combines granite material with resin to form a single dense, solid unit rather than a pressed metal sheet. This construction is generally more resistant to scratches and chips in everyday use compared to standard stainless steel sinks, which can show scuffing and marks over time from pots, pans and cutlery. It also gives the sink a different surface texture and appearance to stainless steel, which some kitchen designs are built around.
Matching taps and accessories
Because Santorini is a full range rather than a single sink model, it includes matching kitchen taps and accessories designed to be used alongside the sinks. Choosing a tap from the same range as the sink helps achieve a coordinated look, since finish and design language are developed together rather than paired after the fact. This is worth considering at the planning stage of a kitchen renovation, rather than sourcing the sink and tap separately from different ranges.
Buying considerations
Bowl configuration is one of the main differences between sinks within the range, single bowl sinks suit smaller kitchens or those prioritising bench space, while double bowl configurations suit households that want to separate washing and food preparation tasks, or need one bowl to hold a drying rack while the other stays clear. Checking the bowl configuration and overall sink dimensions against the available benchtop cutout is an important step before ordering.
Care and everyday use
Granite composite sinks are generally straightforward to live with day to day, since the dense surface resists the scuffing that stainless steel can show after repeated contact with pots, pans and cutlery. As with any kitchen sink, wiping the bowl down after use and avoiding leaving abrasive cleaning pads sitting on the surface for long periods helps keep it looking as intended over time. Because the range is designed as a set, replacing or adding an accessory later is simpler when the original sink and tap are known to be from the Santorini Collection.
