This bespoke, modern floor to ceiling media entertainment unit features made to measure cupboards, drawers, TV cavity and open shelving. The fully fitted, custom- built cabinets and shelving unit maximise and streamline the space and act as a focal point in the room. The design has been tailored to accommodate all the household’s entertainment needs with a mix of display niches and closed storage to keep clutter and cables out of sight. The result is a seamless, integrated media unit that makes our client’s living room highly functional and attractive. Contemporary style, traditional construction The handcrafted cabinetry features flat-faced streamline doors and drawer fronts. Flat-faced cupboard doors, often called slab doors or flat panel doors, are single- surface doors with no frames, bevels, or detailing for a clean, minimalist look. The doors are fitted with concealed soft closing hinges and drawers are mounted on fully extending concealed soft closing drawer slides. The solidly fixed, square-edged, thick engineered shelves and uprights with a 42mm visual front edge have exceptional strength, stability and a bold, chunky, consistent aesthetic. Beautifully finished for a high-end look The cabinets feature knurled pull handles and knobs with a dark brushed brass finish. The textured pattern of knurled hardware has a tactile feel and provides a superior grip while hiding fingerprints. Knurled knobs and handles like these here work well with modern cabinets, flat-panel doors and slab drawers and create a high-end, detailed appearance. The entire media unit has been flawlessly finished in an eco-friendly, water-based, handcrafted paint from Farrow & Ball in Dimity No. 2008, a very pale taupe that is a sophisticated, warm neutral. The surface has a beautiful, wipeable matt finish that is exceptionally durable. This pale taupe colour creates a ‘quiet luxury’ look without the harshness of pure white. While stark white can often feel cold or clinical, this very light taupe is inherently warmer and more comforting, making the living room feel instantly settled and inviting.

The distinguishing trait of the I Naturali series is soil. A substance which on the one hand recalls all things primordial and on the other the possibility of being plied. As a result, the slab made from the ceramic lends unique value to the settings it clads.

Shadow

In the backyard of a home dating to 1910 in the Hudson Valley, a modest 250 square-foot outbuilding, at one time used as a bootleg moonshine distillery, and more recently as a bare bones man-cave, was given new life as a sumptuous home office replete with not only its own WiFi, but also abundant southern light brought in by new windows, bespoke furnishings, a double-height workstation, and a utilitarian loft. The original barn door slides open to reveal a new set of sliding glass doors opening into the space. Dark hardwood floors are a foil to crisp white defining the walls and ceiling in the lower office, and soft shell pink in the double-height volume punctuated by charcoal gray barn stairs and iron pipe railings up to a dollhouse-like loft space overhead. The desktops -- clad on the top surface only with durable, no-nonsense, mushroom-colored laminate -- leave birch maple edges confidently exposed atop punchy red painted bases perforated with circles for visual and functional relief. Overhead a wrought iron lantern alludes to a birdcage, highlighting the feeling of being among the treetops when up in the loft. Photography: Rikki Snyder
