Steal This Look: A Tiny, Seaworthy Kitchen on the French Riviera

June 23, 2020

Architects Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet knew just the thing to do when charged with turning a tiny, suffocating cabin into something befitting its glamorous French Riviera location: They took inspiration from nautical design, with its emphasis on clever built-ins and streamlined efficiency. Then, they ratcheted up the luxe factor.

Check out the tidy and compact kitchen they designed—then learn how to get the look.
