One of the hottest kitchen design trends today is to combine the sleek and minimalist with the warm and rustic. This makes for a lively conversation between materials that is intriguing and comforting at the same time. In this kitchen designed in collaboration with Gail Green Interiors, sleek stainless steel cabinets are combined with a tumbled marble backsplash in a "Harlequin" pattern and limestone counters, with a tumbled marble floor in beige, taupe and rust tones. Custom upholstered bar stool seats with decorative trimmings are perched on streamlined polished chrome bases. The beige lacquered dining chairs were designed by David Estreich for Mariani. Whimsical accessories include watering cans, toy cows and woven baskets. Refrigeration by Traulsen; range and hood by Thermador. Faucet by Harrington Brass. Sink by Franke.
