Daval Furniture were tasked with providing ample yet discreet storage , specially designed to serve the different disciplines in the kitchen living space like cooking , dining , seating and home entertaining . Made-toorder , made-to-measure fitted furniture creates a run of full height cabinets on the far wall , complete with built-in twin ovens and a 13-bottle colour-matched wine rack .
Ergonomic industrial style knurled handles and knobs provide form and function in stainless steel to reveal a fully integrated fridge-freezer , essential cupboard space and a deluxe drinks cabinet with antique , mirrored effect back splash . Built for entertaining , the bespoke drinks cabinet stores the homeowners top shelf liquor and is designed with a series of suspended glass holders , a solid oak door pantry and barista-style coffee station for the perfect nightcap .
Our decision to include a peninsula unit allowed us to maximise the layout of the kitchen to provide plenty of room to maneuver , as well as seat five at the bar , and more on the recessed bench seat close by .”
The main cook and wash zone is minimalist by design , featuring a Bora Pure induction hob with integrated cooktop extractor on one side , and a Matrix 1.5 bowl stainless steel sink and Pronteau Prothia 3 IN 1 hot tap by Quooker opposite . Above the bench seat near the sink area is a stainless-steel champagne cooler , which is inset within the surface of the chunky marble worktop . In short walk of the French doors , this deluxe cooler is ideal for when the homeowners are entertaining at home and want to serve their guests ice-cold drinks on demand .
The Salcombe furniture by Daval was designed in two contrasting colours to provide a strong foundation and high degree of tone and texture . Salcombe Charcoal painted oak grain effect was chosen for the island , run of tall units with integrated drinks cabinet and built-in bench seat with two low-level drawers , whereas textured wood effect Dove Grey top units help to depict the pure grey-vein marble surfaces . The white oak herringbone flooring beautifully frames the wrap-around island and the exposed pendant lighting by Buster + Punch , gives a subtle nod to the industrial heritage of the region .
James Bodsworth , Design Director at Daval says , “ Texture and visual depth were a key part of the brief , which is why we specified our versatile Salcombe furniture in two opposing finishes to balance the homeowner ’ s choice of mustard and grey upholstery fabric and provide definition to the main kitchen area . The distinct high rise bar stools offer friends and family a comfortable bar-style dining experience , which is great when entertaining or keeping the chef company .
