This kitchen is organized around a large table made of a plateau in Indonesian inlaid wood, mounted on an industrial base in cast iron. The originality of this kitchen comes from the combination of traditional elements, like the old stove in the hood range, with very modern ideas, such as the use of fraké (exotic wood veined and clear) to dress the drawers of sliding cupboards or bench tops in polished concrete.
Antique shop doors, farm table and chairs create a unique atmosphere.
