34 ‘FUSION KITCHEN’ WITH NEW BRONZE & CUBAN OAK FINISHES BY DAVAL Daval, leading British designer and manufacturer of quality fitted furniture unveils a new sense of kitchen-artistry with the launch of two special textured finishes: • Bronze: a supermatt metallic finish with stone surface texture - exclusive to Daval • Cuban Oak: a rich woodgrain effect with the look and feel of natural wood – laminate solution Designed for the contemporary kitchen and ultramodern homeowner, each new finish has been introduced so that Daval can answer the growing trend for combination interiors, which present a fusion of different raw materials, finishes and textures. Simon Bodsworth, Managing Director at Daval Furniture explains “Open-plan living continues to influence the latest kitchen designs and with the space needing to serve a variety of disciplines like cooking, dining, entertaining and more recently home office work, mixing materials is a great way to create a zonal scheme that is well-planned, custom engineered and urban in style.” “In terms of colour then darker surface textures, metallic accents and warm timber effects continue to rival more subtle options and in the kitchen, are being used to create an industrial-glam look like the featured Bronze and Cuban Oak kitchen” says Simon.
