Modern-classic refashion by Willis Watts



Provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials, transitional reconfiguration with a subtle grace was what spawned the above kitchen’s appearance by designer Willis Watts.

"I wanted to express some of the character of the house, a 1940s bungalow, in the design for the kitchen, as well as referencing a wider historical context, and then overlay that with a modern functionality."

"Another element I feel works really well within the space is the island. I pushed the rear wall of the kitchen back by about two to three feet to accommodate the wider island, and I'm pleased with the stronger visual presence this has created."

"Pieces such as the casual dining table, which is a repurposed trolley, help to add authenticity to the design. Their provenance nicely ties in the local angle, as well as the sense of history, and contributes to the modern-classic feel that I set out to achieve with this project."
