Kitchen of the Week: Hardware Store Finds and Thoughtful Storage for a Professional Chef

We didn’t know anything about the clients when we approached Andrea Conti and Isabel Cert—of Barcelona design firm Conti Cert (a perennial favorite among Remodelista editors)—about a recent kitchen project that captured our hearts. There was something about its mix of industrial functionality, mid-century lines, and clever storage that we all responded to. Turns out, the home kitchen is for a professional chef and his partner, a children’s librarian.

But of course. We have a well-documented weakness for kitchens designed for and by chefs (for examples of other cooks’ kitchens we’ve covered, scroll to the end).

Below, Conti Cert designer Celia Muñoz shows us around.
