We recently posted on the ingenious kitchen of food photographers Holly Wulff Petersen and Rénee Kemps. In an 800-square-foot space in East London, the two designed an all white working kitchen complete with custom pale concrete countertops, Ikea cabinets (hack included), Smeg appliances, and storage units from an industrial supply outfit.
Here, we dissect the key elements of the kitchen (there are some surprises, including DIY lighting and more Ikea than meets the eye). Here’s a look.
