Embracing a return of food and cookery to the kitchen, the new Lepic kitchen by leading British designer Jasper Morrison marks a move away from minimalism and instead focuses on practicality and the pleasures of cooking and eating.
A seemingly simple design, the kitchen draws upon Morrison’s creative philosophy of the ‘super normal’, in which every element is carefully considered and refined. Using a variety of materials and compositions, the Lepic is rich in detail and meets all the complex requirements of a modern, lived-in kitchen.
It combines natural materials such as wood with the latest innovative technology, creating a space which is entirely practical and durable, but which retains a warm and organic feel. Cabinet doors are finished with veneered natural oak and Fenix NMT, a nanotechnological material which is opaque, soft to the touch and extremely hard-wearing. The worktops are made from wood fibre and are plated on both sides in Fenix NMT.
Open storage provides easy access to pots, pans and food stuffs whilst the stainless-steel back panel, featuring machined grooves, allows the kitchen to be customised with a wide range of visible accessories and utensils. The handles, available in solid natural oak or cast-iron effect painted metal, are deliberately prominent, designed to hold dish cloths while the stainless-steel hood, in a satin finish, is intended for additional storage use. The island offers a generous space for food preparation and entertaining.
The fusion of Morrison’s refined design ethos and Schiffini’s modular hallmark style results in a lived-in kitchen with atmosphere and the joy of cookery at its heart.
The Lepic kitchen comes in three finishes: Malè White, Ingo Black and Beige Luxor.
