Our client wanted a more contemporary look with very clean lines, so we incorporated very balanced geometric tile patterns, hardware, and straight grained wood. At the same time, adding some contrasting softness keeps it interesting, with the custom curved hood and more rounded geometric pattern of the Walnut Burl panel on the underside of the eat-in peninsula.
