Warm Contemporary Kitchen

In this striking contemporary kitchen, quartered zebrawood veneer was chosen for the cabinetry because of its distinctive exotic graining.  Quartered wenge in a darker tone was employed on the island and surrounding the tall oven elevation.  The strong vertical graining on the cabinetry contrasts with the veining and movement of the Bianco Antico granite.  Curved cabinetry and countertops on the island promotes traffic flow and adds another non-linear element to the space.  The dramatically high ceilings add openness to the space, and stepped wood-trimmed coffers add warmth and act as a sound baffle.
