Asian sensibility by Richard Landon

As successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials informed, owner of the featured kitchen requested a kitchen that would work well with her passion for Asian-style cooking with an easier flow.

"In addition, we needed to incorporate a recycled plank of elm that the client had found and loved," designer Richard Landon stated. "This became the kitchen's centerpiece, floating above the island. Lighting was routed into the underside of the plank, preserving the counter space underneath." 

"We provided a variety of door styles," he said. "While the lower cabinets are in the laminate, the upper cabinets feature glass with a yarn-like texture. The remaining cabinets have steel doors with oblong perforations that emulate the pattern of the glass."

"The narrow width of the frames and the mitered corners are reminiscent of a picture frame," he added. "The design gives the cabinetry a certain grace, which fits with the Asian aesthetic required by the client."
