The Scandi.

Flat, finger-jointed fronts in character oak. No paint, no applied handle, no frame around the door.

Flat, finger-jointed fronts in character oak. No paint, no applied handle, no frame around the door. The timber is the finish and the joint is the detail, in hard-wax oil with matte black cabinetry alongside.

How it is built

The same construction, whichever range

The range decides the door and the ornament. Everything behind it is built the same way, in the same building, by the same nine people — and it is built that way whether the kitchen is going to Suffolk or to Connecticut.

Specification

Setting out	Drawn in CAD, then again at full size as a rod pinned above the bench. Machining is taken from the rod, not the screen.
Carcass	18mm birch-faced plywood (a shade under 3/4 inch), glued and screwed, 9mm backs (just under 3/8 inch) housed in rather than pinned on. Adjustable feet throughout.
Face frames	Solid timber, mortise and tenon, with scribed filler stiles where the joinery meets the building.
Drawer boxes	Solid European oak, 16mm (just over 5/8 inch) sides, through-dovetailed front and back by hand, waxed.
Runners	Full-extension soft-close, rated to 90lb.
Painted work	Four coats, brushed by hand in our own finishing room, with the final coat cut in on site after installation.
Installation	By the people who made it. Nothing is subcontracted and nothing arrives flat-packed.

A walkthrough of The Scandi

Not the right one if you want a painted kitchen, or a veneered handleless one — that is The Kensington.

Every kitchen shown here is one we have made. The images are visualizations rather than photographs of our clients’ houses. They are built from our own workshop drawings and our own photographs of the work on site, and finished with AI, because our clients ask that their houses are not photographed or published. More on that.

Where the house is, roughly when you would like to be cooking in it, and what you have in mind. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right people for it.
