Martin Moore - The New Deco Kitchen

09 Oct 17

Founded in 1975 as one of the very first handmade kitchen companies, Martin Moore’s hallmark style has always been classic, timeless, English furniture with a quality which transcends fashion. The style has never stood still though, and over the years a refined contemporary look has emerged.  

The New Deco Kitchen marks an important milestone, as the first kitchen to be wholly designed by Richard Moore, the second generation of the Moore family.  He brings new materials and new looks to the kitchen, taking ‘classic contemporary’ into a new realm.

As with all Martin Moore kitchens, every piece of the New Deco Kitchen is custom designed and handmade in their Yorkshire workshops.  It draws inspiration from architects and craftsmen of the 1930’s, whose Art Deco designs featured clean, geometric lines and decorative materials shaped by exceptional craft skills. Likewise, this highly architectural design has remarkable construction and detailing which calls on the exceptional skills of the Martin Moore craftsmen. 

Whilst acknowledging its 20th Century inspirations, everything about the New Deco Kitchen is new, from the ‘floating’ freestanding pieces to the clever shadow-lines in all the cabinetry. Modern framing replaces traditional cornices and doors are either flush or simply framed without beading. Another important design signature is the use of feature materials, including porcelains and metallics, for both cladding and inset panels. These give this kitchen limitless design potential.
