Illuminating Dark
Design for a kitchenette area. Integrated along a private corridor, intended to be featured as a part of a wall when the kitchen is not operating and to be remained as a bar look. Along with dark gray stone floor, applying Rovere Spessart to cabinetries which is operating with handleless touch-open doors achieves a minimal look of heavy but soft while the counter top finished with scotch-brite finish stainless steel gives a feel of cold but sleek.
The backsplash and surrounding walls built up with matching silver fluted-glass panels create the space filled with delicate reflection working with illumination of various well-controlled lightings. The result displays harmonized, moderated and refined contemporary beauty.
