For The Coveted Kitchen in this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House in New York, St. Charles New York created this stunning homage to the 120-year-old neo-Georgian town house where the show house was held. The cooking suite was crafted for both state-of-the-art entertaining and effortless, intimate meals thanks to the cutting edge JennAir appliances throughout. Wrapped in timeless finishes, sunlight and gracious gravitas, the room conveys a sense of permanence. The kitchen is architecturally appropriate to both 1904 and 2024, its classic prewar-style panel cabinetry features St. Charles’s STC No. 2 with signature inset square hinges and hand-crafted brushed-brass hardware. A handsome herringbone floor is neutral and grounding, a complement to the distinctive Dekton counters, backsplash, and striking ribbed columns, through Cosentino.

In a NoMad loft designed by Michael Chen of MKCA, the kitchen is organized around a muscular 15-foot-long island containing distinct working and social zones. One side is utilitarian, facing a wall of hunter-green linoleum cabinets and containing an induction cooktop by Gaggenau. A massive 10-foot-long volume of heat-tempered steel incorporates new kitchen ventilation and task lighting. The cooktop is concealed on the other side of the island by a large, vertically oriented block of marbled Phoenix Onyx stone, next to which a stainless steel tabletop appears to extend from it horizontally, providing an additional surface or a space for casual dining and socializing.

Left: Le Chic Bohème is the newest in Silestone’s boldly veined patterns from Cosentino. The collection includes four new colors: Jardin Emerald, Rivière Rose, Blanc Élysèe, and Château Brown (shown here), which has a subtle marble look with an elegant, dark brown background and reflections of metallic-pink copper and bronze veining.
Right: For this cream-colored loft kitchen by John Starck of Showcase Kitchens, the designers created definition between the kitchen and the living space by incorporating blue subway tile in a vertical pattern and a custom mosaic, from Studium, that mimics vintage chinoiserie. Functionality is paramount with a full suite of Miele appliances, including an induction cooktop, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, and ovens.
