Winner of five major design awards since its 2025 launch, The Diplomat is a masterclass in combining artisan craft with high-performance function. Designed as a "master workbench," this heirloom-quality island bridges the gap between refined interiors and the demands of serious cooking. It features a less monolithic, action-ready stance with useful sides that include Henrybuilt’s iconic, newly refined Bar Block—a flexible toolbox and serving station that elegantly conceals countertop clutter. Fitted with Opencase end units for adaptable storage and custom mortised D-pulls, The Diplomat negotiates a seamless collaboration between sophisticated entertaining and everyday utility.
The SieMatic SG6 is a celebrated masterpiece of modern kitchen architecture, recently honored with five prestigious accolades including the German Design Award 2026 and the Red Dot Design Award 2025.
Defining a new standard for the "Urban" lifestyle, the SG6 breaks away from rigid conventions by introducing soft, organic curves and a unique 3D design language. Its standout feature is a deeply thoughtful countertop design with raised edges that seamlessly continue the curvature of the side panels, offering both spill protection and a striking visual profil.
Revolutionizing the concept of open-plan living, Valcucine’s New Logica system is a masterclass in ergonomics and stealth design. Its defining feature is a specialized "equipped back panel" that completely conceals all kitchen equipment when not in use, maintaining a pristine, minimalist aesthetic in the home.
By utilizing a patented system of "magical doors"—a silent, feather-light upper lift-up door and a downward-sliding lower door—users can instantly reveal fully equipped zones for cooking, washing, and preparation. The deeper 80cm countertop accommodates a vast array of hidden functionalities, including a dish drainer, small appliances, power sockets, bottle racks, and even the cooker hood. Blending advanced mechanics with elegant Italian craftsmanship, New Logica offers the ultimate luxury: a high-performance kitchen that vanishes into pure architecture.
The Taglio design concept by Poggenpohl is defined by its expressive, sculptural presence, featuring artistic 44mm-thick fronts—more than twice the standard depth. These unique fronts utilize a three-dimensional construction with four slanted surfaces arranged like diamond facets, creating an intense, living interplay of light and shadow. The design balances this striking aesthetic with functional elements, including a hidden retractable shelving system that conceals utensils to maintain a clean visual. Delicate 12mm framing and flush-mounted light strips further enhance the kitchen's precision and warm atmosphere, resulting in a harmonious and emotionally appealing space.

Design & Features: Winner of multiple national and international awards—including the 2025 HIA Australian Kitchen Design of the Year—this beachfront kitchen exemplifies a "warm, refined, and homely" aesthetic that perfectly harmonizes with the home's architecture.
The centerpiece of the space is a striking kitchen island inspired by the hull of a boat. Despite its substantial footprint, the island’s three-dimensional, curved design prevents it from feeling monolithic, instead offering a sense of lightness and fluidity.
