Sober, elegant, and warm. These three words would suffice to describe this striking kitchen that our distributor Cuisine en Scène created for one of its clients in the French city of Vienne. But since we know you’re eager to learn all the secrets of this project, let’s get to work.
We start with the selection of colors and aesthetic finishes, as they have a lot to say in this kitchen. For the fronts of all the furniture, our Fenix laminate model in black has been chosen. Its matte and slightly porous finish gives a neutral and sober impression to the whole. To avoid subtracting uniformity, handles have been dispensed with, opting for the opening system with a Gola profile also in black.
So far, everything is “normal”. However, for the exposed furniture, our Padova model, made of walnut wood, has been used. We find this type of wood in the wall cladding of the work area and in the ceiling, above the island. It is this combination of materials that begins to create the magic in the kitchen. However, we must say that the master touch, which enhances the entire ensemble, is the spectacular countertop that crowns all surfaces (special mention to the effect it creates on the central island). It is made of Cheyenne granite, a material of deep black color on which the white and gray veins create suggestive and elegant shapes.
To outline the elegant air of the entire kitchen, we find some brushstrokes of golden metal in the faucets, the forceful wall clock, and in the Mid Century style ceiling lamps.
As for the distribution, Cuisine en Scène has done a great job. So much so that you have to look closely to realize that what appears to be a completely rectangular room, with one of its short sides open to the dining room, is not actually so. And the other short side does not draw a 90º angle, but much more open. To visually correct this, this space has been reserved to start an L-shaped distribution, installing floor-to-ceiling furniture in black that reduces the sensation of inclination.
