Code Natural Kitchen by Snaidero
Kitchen systems are a lot like prefab housing: they're designed to be modular but they're endlessly customizable—not that that's a bad thing. The advantage of choosing a kitchen system or a prefab is the security of knowing what you're getting: what it will be made of, when and where it will be constructed. You purchase deliverable, detailed promises. The disadvantage, however, is that because they're not truly factory-made, off-the-shelf products, these products are often more expensive than we'd expect. But, if a kitchen system is something you can invest in, here's one that's caught our eye.
Earlier this year, Snaidero Design introduced its new Code kitchen. The modular, fully customizable system is available in color laminates but its the Code Natural that piqued our interest.
Comprising vertical slats of ash wood cut at different widths, the cabinets add a textural visual warmth to the streamlined kitchen. The countertops act as counterpoints, available in laminate, marble, granite, stone, Corian, or steel.

Such a great design, I love the lighting around the rooms
Stunning! Thanks for posting!
Like the texture in the cabinets, cutlines, generic-wood species look. Also enjoyed the open shelving/cabinet overlapping integration. refreshing look for a kitchen.
Love this kitchen. We're designing our home right now and everything is in an Arts and Crafts/bungalow/Craftsman, etc. theme, but the kitchen may now be seguing to Craftman's Asian roots. Love the Asian flair and especially that concrete floor.
A great post describing as to how one can go in for and build a natural kitchen.... Well done, a great effort....
