Milano Elements Vertical | Italian Concrete | Matt

Zoe & Neil’s dreams came true when their cramped and tired space was transformed into an ultra-contemporary industrial kitchen courtesy of Wren Kitchens and AEG.

Copper meets concrete in this modern family kitchen which boasts a mix of textures, colours and metallics. The matt finish Milano Elements cabinetry splashed in edgy Italian Concrete embraces Industrial design and possesses a raw earthiness that feels ultra-contemporary. Contrasting metallic tones are introduced through Copper profiles and a spacious island featuring Copper Matt cabinetry. The result is a luxurious design with a beautiful bespoke feel.

The handless cabinetry celebrates uninterrupted runs of smooth, structured lines which showcase the raw edginess of the Italian Concrete frontals. To continue the dramatic clash of metallics, the base units are topped with a Luxury Laminate worktop in a Copper Slate finish. In keeping with the earthy textures, Zoe & Neil added a Solid Oak breakfast bar to their island, creating a dramatic feature that allows the family to sit and eat together.

Integrated AEG appliances are neatly housed in the tower units to help Zoe & Neil cook up a storm. The Steambake ovens cook their homemade pizzas to perfection and give the family the ability to cook everything simultaneously, helping to create precious memories in the process. The contemporary feel of the kitchen is retained with the addition of the self-venting hob, eradicating the need for an extractor fan which would distract from the run of sleek lines. Taking advice from their Wren designer, Zoe & Neil opted for two 70/30 fridge freezers instead of a large American-style fridge-freezer which could have ruined the uninterrupted run of Milano cabinetry.
