SLICK LITTLE KITCHEN




 So this is a kitchen that I worked on a while ago. We wanted a really minimal / clean finish so we used these amazing white matt drawers with a mitered edge opening detail which kind of gave the appearance of a shadow gap. Nice. Then we used a white corian surface, which I was really nervous about using. White + red wine + food grime = disaster? No in fact, it was fine, you need a bit more bleach than normal but otherwise corian is a great worktop product, it last a loooong time, longer than your units and appliances will that's for sure. I had the sink made in corian too, which kind of made the kitchen. 

The Silvan floorboard planks (made from actual Christmas trees!) were 30cm wide and came in lengths up to 6m - just like the  Dinesen ones in the Saatchi Gallery - were really worth the investment (NOT cheap). I used Fosters appliances - (hob and extractor are just in shot) because I am really anal about nice flush finishes with counter tops and ceilings, which these products offered for a decent price.

The Moooi Random Pendant I got from my amazing lighting supplier which created these incred patterns - well worth the £££. 

This was a test shot - so not properly styled like i'd want but I guess in this home less is more... Anyway a real fun kitchen to have worked, and definitely hits the 'minimalist' theme we wanted.
