01

The brief

A minimal kitchen for a modern house, where the cabinetry should all but disappear into the wall in the evening.

Concept visualization: Charcoal & Limestone, the brief

02

The constraint

Full-height storage, an integrated refrigerator and somewhere to show a few objects, all without breaking the planes of the wall.

03

The solution

Floor-to-ceiling charcoal lacquer with recessed channel pulls. A single niche lined in honed limestone becomes the working wall and the only lit surface.

04

Cabinetry

Satin charcoal lacquer on stable cores, channel pulls milled in blackened metal and a panel-ready refrigerator column that reads as one more door.

05

Appliances & light

Flush induction set into the limestone, with concealed LED washing the niche so the same light serves cooking and the evening.
