Ulrich designer: Aparna Vijayan Photography by: Maged Samuel (courtesy of VUE Magazine) The glimmer of the stainless steel mosaic on the columnar base of the island beckons. The clean white cabinets act as an artist's canvas, allowing the dramatic blue Concetto agate accents and custom stained glass mosaic backsplash to capture the eye. The homeowners wanted new and unique materials in this new kitchen and we delivered. With an artful use of blue agate Concetto in the custom concrete island top and in the frame of the dramatic mantel hood, Ulrich designer Aparna Vijayan created this impactfully designed space. LED backlighting enhances the translucency of the agate. A large contemporary crown compliments the space. A functional desk is also included in the kitchen at the client's behest.
