This kitchen is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and fits perfectly into the beautiful Art Nouveau villa in Baden-Württemberg. Designed by VOIT Schreinerei+Planung from Au/Reichertshausen in Bavaria, with a showroom in Markt Schwaben near Munich, it also enhances the space with the unusual placement of the central counter. The specialists in well-planned interior design, tailor-made furniture concepts and custom furniture have once again implemented a highly individual concept for this project, tailored to the room conditions and customer requirements. The front material consists of walnut veneer with a matt lacquered surface, the drawers are made of solid walnut and the worktop is made of seamless concrete. Many other subtleties and details are not immediately apparent at first glance, such as the fact that the island's drawers are located in the mitre of the worktop or that the cover of the wall opening has been designed as a frame. The tall cabinets in the kitchen are equipped with indirect room lighting, which gives the kitchen even more of the impression of a work of art in the room. The central kitchen island is equally special: it was individually cast and consists of fibre-reinforced and specially treated exposed concrete, as does the worktop with the cast-in sink. There are no joints; everything is cast from a single mould. "You can't achieve this with granite," explains VOIT project planner Johannes Voit. Concrete offers much greater design flexibility – as is the case with this counter: the bevelled concrete worktop gives it a very delicate appearance, even though the cross-section is quite solid.
