Case Study: Kitchen of the Year 2012 - Durapalm by Smith & Fong

Description

Designed with award-winning flair, Michael Bright, of Bright Wood Works, Inc. took cues from the existing space and delivered a solution with style and an eco-friendly edge. Using Smith & Fong® Durapalm® Edge Grain Coconut Palm, Designer Michael Bright creates a warm earthy appearance that supports the natural palette of materials selected for this project. Paired with Rich lite counter tops, the aesthetic is streamlined and contemporary. “It’s so easy for minimalism to become cold,” said Bright. “So we chose our materials carefully in order to counterbalance that.” Speaking of the coconut palm paneling, Bright remarks: “It’s one of those things that everyone wants to touch. They also all want to hear the story of where it comes from.”
