A Journey of Discovery
In 1996, Naomi Neilson founded Native Trails. Using her passion for artisan tradition, sustainability, and fair trade practices to bring the work of undiscovered artisans from central Mexico first to central California and then on to living spaces throughout North America. Combining the artisans’ age-old traditions with contemporary design and sustainable materials, Naomi broke new ground with Native Trails iconic copper sinks and helped to introduce copper as a mainstay material for the kitchen and bath.
A one-of-a-kind handcrafted curved apron front kitchen sink designed with four installation options. Quartet’s beautiful bow-edge can be installed in the front or back, apron-style or behind the counter. Quartet is handcrafted of NativeStone®, a sustainable combination of natural jute fiber and cement, producing an extraordinarily strong material while creating a dramatically lighter product - approximately 40 percent less than standard concrete sinks.
Sustainability
Native Trails' version of concrete – NativeStone® – is not only incredibly on-trend, it is one of the least energy intensive materials one can specify as a sink. Native Trails worked long and hard to create a material that’s both beautiful and tough. NativeStone® is the eco-friendly hero of the kitchen – and incredibly stain resistant.

Going Global
Naomi and her team continue to find new trails to be forged, researching new offerings and traveling throughout the world, searching out undiscovered artisans who can bring life to Native Trails’ innovative designs. Native Trails has expanded far beyond copper sinks; its artisan-made product lines have grown to include sinks and bathtubs made from groundbreaking NativeStone® concrete, spun-glass Italian sinks, fireclay sinks glazed with precious metals, vanities made of reclaimed wood and other sustainable materials, and a range of home decor products.
Leading the Industry
Soon after introducing its first copper basin, it became Native Trails’ core product. Native Trails was the first company to have its copper sinks certified by the UPC and listed by IAPMO, where it assisted in writing the copper basin standards.
The Decorative Plumbing & Hardware Association (DPHA) took notice of the company’s fast rise and solid accomplishments by naming Native Trails CEO Naomi Neilson the Manufacturing Professional of the Year in 2005. As a Certified B Corporation since 2019, Native Trails is proud to join others in using business as a force for good. Today, Native Trails leads the industry in artisan crafted, eco-conscious furnishings and fixtures for high end kitchen and bath design, and is featured in premier showrooms throughout the United States and Canada.
