The waved panels and the large end-grain table top on this kitchen designed by Studio Moste bring character to the overall design. The subtle touches of stained oak and pristine details in the drawers are icing on the cake.

Sebastian Cox cleverly concealed the Spital Fields kitchen in a challenging, narrow space. Using British sycamore boards, he crafted a design that hides appliances, refrigeration, and ample storage. The result? A heartwarming country house feel, nestled in the heart of London.

This modular kitchen designed by the Norwegian studio Hamran boasts quasi-industrial roots with open shelves, expansive work surfaces, and no superfluous elements. What distinguishes it from a stark industrial kitchen is the ingenious use of solid oak throughout its structures and surfaces, beautifully joined with butterfly joints.

This kitchen is a collaboration between Garde Hvalsøe’s hand-craft and the owners; Rene Redzepi (acclaimed Chef of Michelin Restaurant Noma) and Nadine Redzepi (cookbook author). The straightforwardness of a country house kitchen island is shadowed by lovely details: waterfall top and sides, butterfly joint on cracks, visible box joint, and our little favourite, the thined side on the drawers… Lovely.

This contemporary kitchen island by Studio VOI integrates gracefully as a centerpiece within the room. Its generously softened angles bring delicacy to the monolithic structure.
