Natural appeal
The warmth of heart rimu meets the allure
of hand-crafted design in this project
by artisans RH Cabinetmakers
Three things certain in this life are
death, taxes ... and the timeless appeal of
hand-crafted wood furniture or cabinets.
Always choose the right timber for the
job – but first find a skilled woodworking
company to get everything right first time.
This custom heart rimu ven eer kitchen
and the adjacent pale rimu dividing screen
were both crafted by RH Cabinetmakers
after discussion with the client’s architect,
says managing director Rob Hendrickx.
“The design concept, by Lisa Webb of
Studio LWA, was for a kitchen that mixed
contemporary and classic elements – and a
little bit of Art Deco to tie the design back
to the house,” says Hendrickx. “This is a
functional kitchen with clean, crisp lines,
stainless steel surfaces and labour-saving
Blum soft close drawers and hinges.”
In aesthetic terms, the classic polished
stainless steel bounces light around the
room and offers an ideal contrast to the
heart rimu surfaces.
Another contrast comes from the black
lacquered and teal sliding doors in the
under- and over-counter cabinets.
