At the center of the kitchen is a veined-stone island that looks like one solid block. Behind it, light-oak joinery runs to the ceiling and hides the storage and everything else that doesn’t need to be on show.

The wall keeps a single opening: a lit niche backed in the same stone, for coffee and the sink. Apart from that, all you see is the cooktop on the island and the sunlight coming through the curtain.

Light

The niche is washed from above by a concealed line of light. It falls across the stone and brings out its veining, while across the room a sheer curtain softens the afternoon sun.

The materials

  • Veined stone

    Cool to the touch, with natural veining. It holds its own without extra decoration around it.

  • Light oak

    Straight grain and a pale tone that reflects plenty of light. It suits large joinery without weighing the room down.

Material names describe the look as it appears in our visualizations. We choose the exact stone type, finish and supplier for each home together with you.
