Tinderwood Lane

Slick, sexy, streamline, clean-cut lines, no mess no fuss are just some of the words to explain this kitchen space. The client Extra Dimensions Property Group had a clear vision, “keep it simple, yet unique like no other.” The clients fell in love with shitake Caesarstone, with its subtle neutral tone and textural appearance.

We wanted to emphasise the stone in a different way. The idea was to take the traditional butchers block and give it a modern twist; by creating a ‘block of stone’ with hidden functionality. The entire island: doors, drawers, and any visible sides would be clad with Caesarstone. To complete this seamless look, no handles were used; instead, we created a slit opening as a finger hold to open the doors and drawers.

It was important that the rest of the kitchen didn’t detract from the island, but rather compliment it. High gloss doors were the perfect choice because they take a subservient role to reflect the island and the outdoors. The overall outcome created a very bold statement, where the island is the anchor of the home and a central hub.

The kitchen also featured in the 2013 Caesarstone Competition.
