For stockists see Address Book. “Material contrasts and strong forms play off each other in this kitchen, the centrepiece of the large double-height living space. With soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light we could afford a deep midnight blue for cabinetry that is both the backdrop to the living space, and creates the opening to the scullery, laundry and powder room beyond. The dreamy figuring of the Laverna marble splashback and earthy handmade tiles from Anchor Ceramics soften the darker joinery.” What luxury item did you choose for this space regardless of budget? “The ‘Austere Chandelier’ is both a beautiful source of light and a hanging sculpture that draws your eye up into the light-filled void above. The brass finish adds the final romantic touch to the palette of stone, terrazzo and deep blue.” arentpyke.com
