Davonport Davonport's Shoreditch kitchen is a luxury take on eclectic, industrial-style kitchen design. The Shoreditch’s raw urban features are a marked departure from the company’s traditional English furniture, and the design proportions mean it is particularly suited to townhouses, loft apartments and smaller rooms – although the versatile design can be adapted to all homes. The cabinetry is available with or without a bead detail on the frame, and other elements include a slab door; the use of wired glass; aged metal hardware; and a mix of timber and stone worktops. The open, utilitarian- style shelving makes a bold statement, as does the exposed brickwork and strong colour contrasts across the different components of the design. The Shoreditch also features a Crittall Windows ‘Innervision’ sliding door and wall. With its geometric lines, the lightweight, minimalist-profile frame, is heavy on urban appeal and allows natural light to permeate from the main kitchen through to the pantry – an area of the home that often lacks in brightness.
