WOW & THEN
Simply elegant lines, natural materials and
a classic palette define this renovation.
Let there be light
These Punch wall lights were
selected to create ambient
light. They also pay respect to
the home’s original architecture
in their nostalgic detailing.
Black beauty
Black touches create contrast,
frame elements and provide
visual cues for many of the
touch points in the room.

Miriam Fanning,
interior designer
THE BRIEF
Interior designer Miriam Fanning of Mim Design decided to
pay homage to Melbourne’s historical warehouses and
factories when she designed the kitchens for the new Dux
apartments project in Melbourne’s inner east. She also
wanted to acknowledge the area’s reinvigorated nature,
so her scheme is rich in texture and natural finishes, while
presenting as luxurious and refined. A key element of this
4.5x2.45m entertainer’s kitchen is a sociably sized island unit.

DARK MATTER
A beguiling space for both cooking and socialising
was the first order up for this well-balanced kitchen.
V groovy
Designer Stewart Horton
used V-groove panelling as
a “slight nod” to the original
architecture. “It’s nostalgic
but in a pared-back way.”
Shades of grey
The colour of the tiles was chosen
to echo the shade of grey veining
in the Smartstone benchtop.

nt THE BRIEF
cI
M A black freestanding Smeg stove was the starting point for
er this kitchen, conceived as part of a redesigned Federation
d
an home in Newcastle, NSW. “My clients loved this cooker;
x
Ale it’s the star of the room,” says interior designer Stewart
y Horton. “The kitchen was built around it and it dictated the
b
hy colour scheme.” Black under-bench joinery helps to anchor
p
a the cooker while everything else is kept “light and white”,
gr
o says Stewart, in order to counterbalance its strong presence

CHIC & SLEEK
Black, marble and copper constitute the
perfect recipe in this Sydney kitchen.
Marble play
“I originally wanted Calacatta
marble but opted instead for
Carrara with lots of veining.
It was cheaper but looks like
Calacatta,” says owner Yael.
Tactile & terrific
From the heavily veined marble
benchtop to the sheen of the
copper handles and tapware,
all the touch points of the
kitchen are textured,
gleaming and tactile.
THE VISION
ar.
z Sydney apartment owner Yael Katz turned to Pinterest to
Uri
ul transform a ’70s-vintage, U-shaped kitchen into her dream
a scheme. “I knew I wanted to use black and marble, and then
P
hn I found the perfect room to base my whole kitchen on,” she
o
y J says. The reference included dainty copper fixtures a genius
b
y touch. It was all the inspiration Yael needed. She gutted her
h
p room, enlisted a joiner and, using the existing space, created
a
ogr a layout for maximum functionality. For visual appeal, she added
hot exquisite metallic details, including a copper sink and tap. >
