Composition and finish
A long dark island is centred on a patterned inset panel, giving the front a single focal detail. Behind it, illuminated shelving breaks up the black cabinetry and makes the display legible.
Storage and use
Lower cupboards provide closed storage across the back wall, with open shelves reserved for bottles and glassware. The island separates serving space from the display and preparation zone.
