This display kitchen by Morgan Cronin at the Kouzina Appliances showroom in Parnell, Auckland, showcases the drama that’s possible when black surfaces are paired with brass highlights. The benchtop in ‘Deep Nocturne’ by Corian is seamless, tactile, hygienic and renewable. Corian surfaces also come with a 10-year transferable residential warranty.

Fenix NTM is another smart option for benchtops and cabinetry that delivers a deep black surface. The nanotech product is matte, soft to touch, resistant to fingerprints, scratches and abrasions, has enhanced anti-bacterial properties – and is available in a range of desirable colours.

The Kouzina Appliances showroom also carries the Italian designed and made iB Rubinetti tapware range. Crafted by the Bregoli family in Brescia, Italy, the range features sophisticated and innovative designs.

Corian surfaces, sinks and basins, Fenix NTM and iB Rubinetti tapware are all distributed in New Zealand by Evolution of Surfaces.
