ABOUT ENUGU
Introducing Enugu, a mid-century modern kitchen that reimagines retro kitchen design for modern living. Commissioned as part of a side-extension project, this kitchen brings together vintage spirit and handcrafted bespoke design to create a space that’s both functional and expressive.
From the very first brief to the final installation, we worked closely with our clients to interpret their vision. Enugu was born from a love of colour, texture and mid-century aesthetic. It was realised through premium joinery, sustainable materials and considered details that elevate the kitchen from nostalgic to timeless.
With a floating island of fluted wood, crisp materials, and recycled worktops, Enugu marries mid-century modern kitchen style with the longevity and quality only a truly bespoke kitchen can deliver. Every element is carefully designed, shaped and finished to create a kitchen that feels characterful, personal and built to last.

WHY ENUGU IS A TRUE BESPOKE & MID-CENTURY KITCHEN DESIGN
Enugu demonstrates how a mid-century modern kitchen can fuse character, history and modern practicality. It combines mid-century design features, including a floating island, wood panelling and a curated colour palette, with sustainably chosen materials and handcrafted mid-century modern kitchen cabinets. The result is more than a kitchen: it is a space that tells a story, suits everyday living, and will endure over the years.
This is what bespoke retro kitchen design should be. Personal, considered, sustainable, and built to stand the test of time.
