THE IDEA
Light draws the stone.
DESIGN FOCUS
Integrating generous counter seating and a complete work wall, using light to add depth to stone and storage.
A gold-veined worktop extends down the island front, framed by a line of light. The rear wall combines storage, cooking, washing and coffee. Dark display cabinets and a linear pendant contrast with a composition defined by warm tones.
