MAGIC CRYSTAL

An amazing blue calcite splashback and chic recessed handles are the heroes in this London kitchen by Witlof. Created for a pair of busy professionals who love to cook, it also includes drawer layouts that suit specialist cutlery and space for a wallhung knife set. Exposed ply end grain subtly reveals the materiality of the sleek cabinetry.
