Portfolio

This portfolio image features a luxurious, contemporary kitchen defined by its striking use of Patagonia quartzite. The large central island and matching splashback showcase the stone’s dramatic, natural patterns of translucent cream, grey, and dark oak. A line of five elegant oval-framed pendant lights with glowing spherical bulbs hangs above the island, where four modern, white-upholstered bar stools with polished gold bases are neatly tucked. In the background, minimalist handleless cabinetry in dark oak and cream, with recessed vertical brass strips in the doors of the tall cabinetry. The workspace is further elevated by a vertical timber-slat feature wall and integrated ambient LED lighting that casts a warm, sophisticated glow throughout the space.

This French coastal villa kitchen exudes modern luxury through its use of dramatic book-matched Patagonia quartzite surfaces on the island and splashback.
