The Detail

Krefman is particularly proud of the kitchen’s new look. “We crafted our design around clean white cabinets, refreshed ceiling and brightly polished porcelain floors,” notes the designer, “all intended to maximize and reflect as much light as possible. The rich, black granite creates a dramatic contrast, while the kinetic movement of its veins adds mesmerizing interest. We added warmth to the already luminous space by incorporating walnut at the island and range wall, and further distinguished the island as a piece of furniture, detailing it with a beautiful amour fascia and a reversed beveled edge at the countertop, and outfitting it with a functional and stylish brass foot rail. To balance the space, we introduced bold and geometric Bauhaus art pieces that reinforce the nod to old-world glam.”
