The wonder of wood

We celebrate the beauty of this warm, natural material and its myriad incarnations

DECORATIVE INTEREST

Detail is at the heart of this sensational kitchen by Ledbury Studio. ‘Handmade from English and European Oak with patinated zinc highlights, it blends a strong contemporary feel with traditional craftsmanship,’ says founder Charlie Smallbone. ‘Highlights include the exquisite design of the tall cupboards.’

NATURAL VIBE

Inspired by the beauty of Scandinavian woods, the new Nordic Nature range by Magnet has oak-effect doors in smooth, fluted and glass-fronted designs. ‘Incorporating forms inspired by nature improves our physical and mental wellbeing,’ says Herman Persson, group design director.

GO WITH THE GRAIN

Eye-catching American Black Walnut veneer is the focal point of this Jack Trench kitchen, striking a balance between contemporary and retro appeal. ‘The JT Mid-Century is our homage to 20th-century Modernism and classic Danish furniture,’ says Jack Trench.
