Steal This Look: An English Kitchen with a Rustic-Modern Edge

April 3, 2018

One of our favorite projects of all time is London architect David Kohn’s conversion of a former stable into a house that seamlessly blends past and present, rustic and clean-lined. Today we’re spotlighting the stable’s compact eat-in kitchen, a soulful layering of wood and white bricks that also has a sense of modernism (thanks in part to a highly covetable midcentury table and set of chairs by Pierre Jeanneret). We’ve sourced a checklist of products—from a compact refrigerator to a Swedish broom—to achieve a similar look.
