Dialogue of Surfaces: The Kitchen’s Centerpiece

 

 

 

Upon entering the open-plan kitchen, the sand-hued island aligns with a deep-gray wall to the left, together defining the space’s fundamental order. Meticulously calibrated in both scale and flow, the island’s dimensions delineate the cooking area without obstructing sightlines, while the wall extends as a continuous backdrop, reinforcing the room’s depth. Stepping between island and wall, one’s gaze naturally carries into the adjacent living zone, creating a sense of composed openness at first glance.
The island is clad in panels from Inalco’s Duna series, their matte sand texture subtly articulated, while the left-hand wall is sheathed in deep-gray Brenta series panels that function as a vertical screen. The stark interplay of light and dark, horizontal planes and vertical faces, establishes a clear organizational logic. Circling behind the island, the view instantly opens and movement eases into the kitchen’s hub, where the bright yet muted palette lends an approachable quality.
 
 
 
 
 
Responding to the shift toward open-plan kitchens, the island acts as a semi-open social node, weaving culinary activities seamlessly into daily life, while the vertical wall provides essential spatial definition. Together, they strike a balance between openness and function. As light and time progress, the two stone finishes reveal nuanced variations, animating the space with a steady rhythm. Within this composed framework, the design maintains its tension and cadence, imparting a subtle afterglow to everyday moments.
