I'd only want it in order to resell it, lol... not my cup of tea...

Not sure you're supposed to cook in that kitchen, or play blackjack.

Schnikees! I've only been in one casino in my life, but agree with that analogy. No thanks.

I think I could have stretched that 300,000 pounds a bit farther...
It reminds me of what I picture austin powers to cook in...

ROTFL!!!! That's not even half a million dollars and it's all spent on glitz! Like those $1M Victoria's Secret bras with the diamonds. Unlike a bra, which you really do need to encrust with diamonds to get to that kind of price, you can get to a million dollar custom kitchen without trying too hard, and there are plenty of them out there--minus the gold leafing. Custom built Molteni range, walk-in fridge and freezer (yes, we've had ordinary homeowners here have have put walk-ins in their homes), custom tiles designed and made for the project, site made cabinetry out of solid hardwoods, hand burnished, hand forged and burnished pulls, Chihuly chandeliers... Really not hard. :) And with a more functional kitchen in the end, too. :)

Not sure of the exchange rate right now, but I think we got a house, pool and replaced a gutted kitchen for that. And it suits me much better. I'm so glad to say not an ounce of kitchen lust here. Relief! LOL

Way too Dubai.

:) Reminds me of an Architectural Digest apartment once--ceiling covered in jeweler-grade silver--because he just couldn't get the special look he was going for with any other material. Uhuh. I believed it too.

Downright ugly and pointless. Wolf and Sub-zero appliances? Comon I could probably find you a French or Italian range that will easy run up that bill way off the charts. I have to assume some large manors in Europe have far more expensive kitchens.

That kitchen is a total BS marketing self promoted by the shop's PR firm. $468k doesn't even come close to the world's most expensive kitchen.

That project is just like pllog's bra example. 150k worth of substance - 18,000 worth of actual gold leaf and 300,000 worth of hype to make the lucky suck..I mean buyer feel (s)he is in the "club" .

More power to them, there is a market for everything.

Designers often "take chances" to be on the cusp...of something. This guy took the chance and lost the toss. Too bad, so sad.

joyce, looks like Vegas to me, too.

Love the comments. Someone asked if that was Kadaffi's kitchen.

I was going to say Disco Kitchen, but have to bow to "Casino" or "Dubai." ;-) Sure not the way I'd choose to spend that money... Or a place I'd want to spend much time. Fun to look, though.

Reminds me of those high designer fashion models wearing their cutting edge wouldwhatchamacallits on a runway. Way too expensive and who the heck would ever wear that anyway?! Too much foof and looks very uncomfortable.

One US dollar = 0.647910 GBP today. Surprise they didn't use the euro.

i'm not impressed.
they didn't use the euro because great britain is not a part of the EEC. smart.

Sorry I thought United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was part of the EU, EC, EEC.

ROTFL!!

'Course in Dubai they have servants and the kitchens are generally pretty normal. And small.

(falls out laughing at kitchen photo)

Well, it certainly is shiny. Bless its heart.

It would probably look good in a house rather than on an exhibition hall concrete floor.
I like it better than some of the HGTV crapola I regularly see. Not a lot of US consumers connect with the Euro-modular kitchen idea. You take them with when moving so you only buy them once, and they can be very personalized.
Casey

the UK joined the eu, eec, in the 70' they only opted out of the euro but are still a part of the community. Euros are acceted in english stores and banks by law I believe.
I have been waiting for a "new" kitchen this just proves that you should be carefull about what you wish for.

Oh come on chaps. It takes money to hand apply 12 coats of glitter embossed in lacquer. Each coat of which probably took a freshly made kitten pelt to buff.
I'm only disappointed there isnt a glass artichoke lamp in there - although chihuly's stuff probably better fits in the space.

I'm sure one could get the same look with IKEA and a little craft glue . . .

Looks like a jukebox to me! Like Jakabedy's idea for replication!

So....somebody actually cooks in there? Right!

Did anyone read the comments of the designer? Something about how, above all, the kitchen is the heart and soul of the home, etc.... this kitchen has less heart and soul than any kitchen ever!

it looks like the pottery barn kids retro kitchen my neice has.
