Minimalist design – maximum utility
German precision is to the fore in this crisp white, easy-to-use Poggenpohl kitchen – by designer Lara Farmilo – that's organised for family & entertaining
For this kitchen, the owners wanted a very functional space, one in which the sink and hob were set on the island – from where they could work and look out to the garden and pool, says designer Lara Farmilo.
"In addition they wanted a kitchen that they could be proud of, functionally and visually, when entertaining guests, but in which they hardly ever had to ‘give their backs to the guests'."
To satisfy all these needs the owners had chosen a German Poggenpohl kitchen, engineered with everything from timber cutlery inserts to electrically opened drawers without handles.
This takes the form of two tall banks of perimeter cabinetry – divided by an entry space – combined with a generous-sized island.
The kitchen is easy to use from every perspective with the cabinetry all pulling open for excellent access to every nook and cranny and the massive eating bench on the outside of the island being ideal for children's casual mealtimes.
Check out Poggenpohl's wide range of cutting edge kitchens reflecting the latest and best in terms of materials, technologies and of course design finesse.
