A Ceramic Centrepiece

The island forms the centre of the room and is visible from the kitchen, dining area and garden. Kaji Border follows its long elevations and rounded corners, allowing the narrow module to emphasise the continuity of the volume.

The Brick glaze connects with the warm upholstery and autumnal planting while remaining distinct from the pale oak cabinetry and cool stone worktop.

Rhythm and Contrast

Repeated vertical joints give the island a clear architectural scale. Against the wider planes of timber, stone and polished concrete, the smaller ceramic module provides texture without adding a separate decorative motif.
