About Lagos
Meet Lagos — a striking bespoke kitchen, crafted as part of a rear- and side-extension project in Brighton.
Lagos marries a bold, contemporary aesthetic with the timeless warmth and authenticity of natural materials. It’s a kitchen designed not just to look beautiful, but to perform — delivering a space where cooking, living and socialising come together in harmony.
From the outset, we worked to refine a deep and striking green tone for the cabinetry, balancing it with natural oak elements and clean, durable worktops. Overcoming the challenges of envisioning a kitchen before the room existed, we drew on our experience and close collaboration with the clients to finalise a layout and palette that feels confident, cohesive and distinctly bespoke.
Lagos shows what bespoke kitchen design does best: a kitchen tailored to the home, built for real life, and crafted to stand the test of time — with a nod to sustainability and thoughtful material choices.
KITCHEN HIGHLIGHTS
- A bold dark green and oak palette that brings depth, character and contrast to the space.
- A generous kitchen island, offering abundant workspace and storage — perfect for cooking, entertaining or everyday living.
- Integrated open shelving, pantry and display bookshelves flowing seamlessly into the living area — combining practicality with architectural interest.
- Durable, low-maintenance white Durat worktops that complement the Oak cabinetry while keeping the overall aesthetic fresh and modern.
KITCHEN DETAILS
Cabinetry & Materials
- Fronts: Deep green panels crafted in green Valchromat, paired with oak birch ply fronts and end-grain birch ply — offering a layered, textured look with warmth and character.
- Carcasses: Built from high-quality birch ply (FSC or responsibly sourced where possible) — aligning with our commitment to sustainable, long-lasting bespoke kitchens.
- Worktops: Clean, crisp white Durat — a durable solid-surface material that contrasts elegantly with the dark cabinetry and oak, while delivering resilience for everyday kitchen use.
Sustainability & Craftsmanship
- Responsibly-sourced timber: Carcasses and plywood components are selected to meet eco-standards, aligning with our broader sustainable kitchen philosophy.
- Durable build quality: Cabinets and joinery are crafted with longevity in mind — ensuring this bespoke kitchen withstands daily use, reduces need for replacement, and avoids the pitfalls of “fast-furniture.”
- Eco-minded finishes: Where possible, finishes and treatments are chosen for low-VOC, non-toxic properties to support indoor air quality and environmental responsibility.
WHY LAGOS IS A TRUE BESPOKE & SUSTAINABLE KITCHEN
With Lagos, we’ve created more than just a cooking space — we’ve crafted a kitchen that reflects personality, lifestyle and thoughtful design. The combination of bespoke joinery, high-quality materials (Valchromat, birch ply and oak), and sustainable practices ensures that Lagos isn’t a fleeting trend — it’s a kitchen built to live in, grow with you, and last for decades.
This kitchen stands as an example of how bespoke kitchens should be: individually designed, carefully constructed, visually striking, and environmentally conscious.
