would the designer be able to share where the benches around island did get purchased?

Love the benches. So much comfort without restriction. Perfect!
products will work for a residential application. Subzero also has a glass door fridge: http://www.subzero-wolf.com/builtin-refrigerators/glass-door-36-inch-refrigerator
Cool idea with the bench bar stool!
I like the wide bench bar stools
dding bench bar stools to this elegant kitchen instantly makes the room feel more relaxed. If you're worried about the durability of white upholstery, use an easily cleaned material like vinyl to help your benches stand the test of time.

do the work, or just the design?
Who did you contract to do the work? I have a hard time finding great contractors in my area. Thanks!
Is there a back to the bench? Are you leaning against the windows?
Beautiful kitchen!
When you sit on the bench, do your legs hit the drawer handles?
Love the bench seating. Could you tell me the depth of the bench please?
adding a bench to - but windows go kind of low. I don't think we have space for a back. Does this work for you?
Bench is about 22" deep; the back of the bench is built at a slight incline for comfort.
There is a back, built at a slight incline for comfort. However, we didn't factor in the window sill trim, which extends out over the bench back. So the nice angled back doesn't do much good. However, the pillows help. For eating at the table, it's not really an issue
Trying to design a bench similar to this. I like how the windows are still low. Can you tell me dimensions on height and depth of bench and also how height above the seat the window sits? does this tend to be a less comfortable type bench since there is no cushion back?
tall and benches and chairs are 18" - that's a good rule of thumb to go by.
dining table with built in bench
White bench, dark table, with throw pillows
Built in bench beneath the window
like the bench under the window
Design around a bench. THIS WORKS WELL WITH LONGER, RECTANGULAR TABLES. Cush up the corners with throw pillows; this means the bench can also become a prime
Color scheme shadow boxing at bottom of bench
bench like this would b great in my kitchen one day instead of bench in dining...or it could b a free standing bench

What is the total depth of the island, bench included? A wonderful idea!
Love this island idea! Such a clever use of space. I was wondering what are the dimensions of the entire island? Does the bench seat start at the midpoint, and is the back
ductless hood works OK if you are not doing a lot greasy frying, but is not desirable if there is an option to vent to the outside.
for the bench, it is a hard wood back and does start at the midpoint of the island.
you're working at the counter. Or, you can use the table for extra work area for a big project.
Could use bench instead of built in
upholstered bench and tulip-style table. The eclectic pairing works because of the room's mostly white backdrop and use of neutral colors.
settee works like a built-in bench but is more versatile. The plaid upholstery adds a country charm to the white room.
upholstered bench does not take up any more room than a pair of chairs, yet feels much more comfortable during leisurely meals and mornings with coffee and the newspaper. Smaller chairs (like the bentwood ones used here) can fill in the other side without taking up much space.
