Ornamentation for minimalists. The Geometric Dimension of Nude Oak
Interior photography: Tomo Yarmush
Kitchen design often comes down to finding a balance between austerity and homely warmth. The starting point for this project was light Nude Oak – a material characterised by restraint and modesty, which, in the right context, takes on a sculptural character.
The introduction of the Arch model, with its repeatable geometric pattern combined with the soft curves of the island, makes that light wood more than just a raw material – it evolves into a multidimensional element of the interior.
Minimalism doesn’t have to be one-dimensional – it is a conscious selection of components that give a space a contemporary, artistic expression.
Rhythm instead of decoration
In this space, ornamentation takes on a new meaning. It’s not an added detail, but stems directly from the design of the fronts. The geometric rhythm of the vertical millings of the Arch model introduces a three-dimensionality to the interior that changes with the angle of light. It is a unique form of contemporary sculpture – discreet, yet defining the entire room. It gives the simple wooden structure depth and architectural strength without losing its natural lightness.
Nude Oak: purity that soothes
The entire piece is held together by the colour of the Nude Oak veneered fronts. This pure and composed shade acts as a visual filter, calming the space and allowing the veneer’s texture to resonate. It provides a harmonious backdrop that complements the form rather than competing with it. In this version, light oak wood is no longer just a safe choice, but becomes a conscious aesthetic statement.
Function, but make it soft
The vertical lines of the cabinetry are complemented by an island, which serves as storage in this project. The smooth drawer fronts of the Modern model, with integrated handles, provide a visual counterpoint to the rhythmic divisions of the Arch model. A key detail here is the rounded side panels, which complete the island’s form. The soft lines give the unit a more organic and welcoming feel, effectively calming the entire composition.
This is a kitchen where moderation meets character, creating a space full of peace and yet far from the obvious.
