Porto Kitchen

The Practicalities of a modern kitchen showcased in a contemporary design with striking natural grain.

Porto’s contemporary design combines carefully chosen materials to create a striking handcrafted kitchen. Pattern and texture are key to the luxurious modern feel of the Porto kitchen. Shown here in a palette of chocolaty toned timbers contrasted with subtly varied granite surfaces, smooth painted elements and screen-printed glass “wallpaper”, creating an eclectic mix.

Originally inspired by the versatility of American Black Walnut, the clean, linear design of the cabinets allows the subtle contrasts in grain created by the combination of crown cut and quarter cut veneers to take the limelight. Close grained quarter cut veneer is used horizontally for feature areas such as drawer fronts, whilst the more familiar crown cut timber is used for the frames. Dark stained walnut pilaster accents add impact, particularly when teamed with cream painted elements.

This attention to detail continues inside the cupboards where every available space has been used to provide useful storage. The mantle surround has been designed to include L-shaped cupboards with shelving perfect for spices and oils. Timber framed glass shelving allows for maximum visibility and a split level corner carousel design gives easy access to pans and small appliances.
