and rear-of-island cabinetry and in the form of
a stave design of varying widths on the front
of the island. The former has a recessed linear
handle which adds to the clean, crisp look and
optimises free movement through the space.
Semi-industrial stainless steel pulls on the
front-of-island drawers accentuate the kitchen’s
sculptural feel. The handles also tone in with the
matt stainless steel toekicks as well as the bank
of stainless steel wall appliances to the rear.
The kitchen’s generous warm wood surfaces
are contrasted by the coolness of veined white
Dekton quartz surfaces on the island and the
perimeter benchtop and splashback.
Part of an entertainer’s kitchen role is keep-
ing things looking tidy from the living spaces.
As well as offering floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, the
kitchen includes a walk-in scullery, accessed by
a concealed door within the wall of cabinetry.
The choice of a pop-up downdraft extractor
let the designer set the hob in the island – perfect
for cooking and entertaining at the same time.
“Adding a casual breakfast table next to the
island made good use of this modest area – this
was ideal for casual family meals and continued
the focus of the kitchen as a casual social hub.”

Part kitchen, part-semi-industrial
sculpture, this Arclinea kitchen
by Matisse offers an elegant play
of wood, veined white stone and
stainless steel accents.

linear cabinet pulls add to the clean,
crisp aesthetic and optimise free
movement between the perimeter
cabinetry and island.
