'I love my new kitchen. It is beautifully crafted and well fitted. Martin and Norman were marvellous even to the extent of patching me up when I fell whilst feeding my pigs!'
Late Victorian Arts and Crafts furniture designers emphasised handmade craftsmanship, solid wood and clean, simple lines, which is very much Treske’s credo today.
In this new townhouse the lines of the oak woodwork subtly reflect the Arts and Crafts aesthetic, noticeably in the slight off-vertical batter on the panels around the central pillar and the tapering corner supports. Walnut was used for the centre island and for the cornice which was scribed to the ceiling. Corian work surfaces moulded into wall splashbacks, the new 420 electric Aga, large fridge freezer and sleek steel handles are utterly contemporary yet complementary.
The Arts and Crafts movement laid emphasis on aesthetically unified interiors. Our client chose a table and chairs from our V&A range, first seen at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in 2004 during the exhibition International Arts and Crafts.
