In this exclusive design kitchen, the travertine kitchen island is the unmistakable centrepiece. A monolithic object that is not merely a worktop, but an architectural sculpture in the space.
Designed by architect Bob Manders, the kitchen island appears to float weightlessly above the floor. This illusion of lightness is enhanced by the generous daylight and the subtle shadow lines gliding across the natural stone.
The heart of the space is a kitchen island crafted entirely from travertine, in which every detail has been executed with the utmost precision. The sink is subtly milled from the same block of natural stone, so that worktop and sink area form one flowing whole. No seams, no transitions. Only pure form and craftsmanship. The horizontal lines of the travertine continue into the sides, creating a continuity rarely achieved in kitchen design.
The tall cabinet wall opposite, in bog oak, reaches up to the ceiling and forms a powerful contrast with the light travertine. Open niches break up the mass and bring air and rhythm into the design. Behind it lies the functional perfection Culimaat is known for: a dishwasher at ergonomic height, integrated appliances from leading brands and a specially designed Culimaat lift that elegantly makes kitchen appliances disappear when not in use.

A refined coffee niche with floating shelves sits by the window and catches the natural daylight in a way that brings the interior to life. Here, the daily coffee ritual is elevated to an aesthetic experience. The long, linear lighting above the island emphasises the geometry of the kitchen island and creates a balanced interplay between light and material.
This bespoke kitchen shows how natural stone and wood reinforce one another in a play of texture, colour and proportion. The travertine structure, with its subtle veining and warm tones, brings calm and depth to the space. Every detail, from the recessed taps to the seamlessly integrated hob, breathes precision and refinement.
What emerges is more than a kitchen: it is a carefully composed living space in which material, function and form are in balance. An ode to craftsmanship, architecture and design.
