The couple wished for a tailored kitchen, with the cooking function on the island. They requested to “sharpen the proportions,” smarten the kitchen with a trendy product mix, and equip it with better storage.

The island becomes daring with a magnificent, petrified wood countertop. And it does it all: It cooks. It grills. It chops. It preps. It faces family and friends. It stores all cookware and spices; it hides recycling and knife block as well as convenience outlets. Crowning it, the “dual décor island hood” allows everyone to easily see each other and enjoy the view to the garden.
