THE BLACK BOUTIQUE KITCHEN
A FAMILY KITCHEN BY DAY AND BOUTIQUE BAR BY NIGHT
THE INSPIRATION
The concept for this kitchen design marries the functionality of a family kitchen with the urban elegance found in London’s boutique hotel bars.
Upon entering the room, the monochromatic black kitchen palette makes a dramatic impression. The Cosmic Black granite and ebony timber cabinetry offset the white walls, giving the kitchen an imposing presence.
At night, integrated lighting illuminates the kitchen with a warm glow, transforming the space into a boutique bar in which to entertain friends.

THE DESIGN CONCEPT
THE FINAL OUTCOME
BY NIGHT
DRAMATIC STONE
Large expanses of Cosmic Black granite give this kitchen a dramatic impact. As a completely natural material, each slab of granite is a unique artwork of black, white and golden details. The leathered finishing process maintains a matte aesthetic to complement the satin cabinetry and reveals the original tactility of the stone.
HIDDEN SEATING
The stone island fascia extends to create a discreet pocket with hidden bar seating for two, whilst retaining the illusion that the island is a solid block of stone. Located at the end of the island and besides the under counter wine cabinet, this seating area is an idyllic setting to enjoy a romantic evening as a couple.
CONTEMPORARY HARDWARE
Stained black timber veneer with a vertical grain adds texture to the cabinetry and elevates the dark material palette. Buster + Punch pull bar handles made from solid smoked bronze complete the contemporary aesthetic whilst offering rugged credentials to suit daily family life.
