Charcoal & Brass Kitchen

This client cooks three meals a day and wanted a kitchen that would still look new after five monsoons. We chose matte charcoal laminate for the fronts — fingerprints simply don't read on it — and lifted the scheme with brass edge profiles and handle-free push latches.

Inside, it's all workhorse: Godrej soft-close channels, six baskets, a bottle pull-out beside the hob and a tall pantry unit that swallowed a decade of jars.
