The ‘Impression’ Kitchen; contemporary anthracite from Intuo by ewe kitchens

Award winning Austrian brand Intuo by ewe kitchens offers a beautiful range of contemporary kitchens in a number of styles and colours. As part of the Intuo 2010 collection the Impression kitchen is designed to make a statement in the home and combines natural forms with contemporary functionality. Carcasses are made from melamine with doors and drawer fronts in a high gloss lacquered finish in anthracite that is comprised of seven coats of environmentally-friendly water-based lacquer for durability. Further wall mounted tall cupboard units above the counter are made from grain-matched core beech veneer.

The room height tall housing units, undercounter cupboards and drawers feature smart aluminium handles, while the wooden cupboards are handle-less and feature ‘Ferrari’ catch smooth opening mechanisms. Fully integrated cooling, dishwashing and laundry appliances are hidden behind door fronts to ensure the uninterrupted streamlined design of the Impression kitchen, while ovens are situated within  tall housing and the flush induction hob is situated on the extended island. An extraction unit is incorporated within a stainless steel and hardened glass hanging shelf, which includes a full length working light.

The 12mm thick stainless steel worksurface provides a stunning balance between the wood grain and anthracite units. A seamless welded sink is incorporated within the wet area in order to continue the pure clean lines of the workspace. A smoked glass splash back is lit from above to create a feature of it at night, and is available in up to 4,000 colours – and can even be matched to specific pantone references, if required.
