L’Epicerie, industrial-looking kitchen bursting with character

This collection design is inspired by those open lofts where everything is for show and out in the open

It is an authentic and modern approach for an open space that combines all of the textures and functionalities needed around the kitchen, such as natural wood, aluminium panels & rails, tons of accessories to display all your plants, cookery books & utensils. All within easy reach to show off your cooking skills to your friends and family.

This concept is not just an area for prepping meals but an inspiring space offering ample storage. We thought that the best approach would be to start from scratch with our plans for the kitchen. We added wire mesh to bring extra functionality and allow the products to breathe while offering a view of all the produce that can be so inspiring.

Top 3 tips for adopting this style to your next project:

1. This collection offers up to 26 lacquer colours, so a great variety of warm and cold colours. Start choosing the one you like the most to set the tone for your project so you can go to the next step and pick the features you want in your kitchen.
2. If your kitchen layout has a central island with an open flow & space, feel free to have two different worktops, one for the island and a different one that goes by the wall. This will create a lighter and more seamless approach to your design.
3. Use & abuse open shelves for easy-of-reach. Also, adopt some functional crate-inspired drawers to bring functionality to your kitchen project. Schmidt offers a wide range of accessories for optimising your way around the kitchen.
