About Lamu
Introducing LAMU – The recycled kitchen — a striking example of how bespoke design, sustainability and craftsmanship can come together to create something truly special. At the core of this project lies an ethos of reuse and thoughtful material selection: reclaimed oak, deep black Valchromat and charcoal-toned Foresso worktops combine to create a kitchen that feels both unique and deeply grounded in character.
Every element of LAMU reflects our commitment to sustainable kitchen design. This is not a kitchen made from off-the-shelf parts — it’s a custom-built, handcrafted space where each material has a story. The reclaimed oak brings warmth, history and timeless appeal; the black Valchromat introduces depth and contemporary contrast; while the recycled-timber Foresso worktops and bespoke handles — crafted from off-cuts — complete the circle of reuse, making LAMU one of our most eco-conscious kitchens to date.
This kitchen isn’t just about eco-credentials though. LAMU delivers on style, substance and substance: a rich, layered aesthetic underpinned by meticulous craftsmanship and bespoke joinery. It’s a statement that sustainability and luxury can — and should — co-exist.
Welcome to a kitchen where every detail celebrates reuse, craftsmanship and bespoke design.

WHY LAMU EXEMPLIFIES BESPOKE, SUSTAINABLE KITCHEN DESIGN
With LAMU, we show that sustainable kitchen design and luxury bespoke craftsmanship don’t have to be separate ideals — they can coexist beautifully. By choosing reclaimed oak, Valchromat, recycled Foresso worktops and crafting custom details like handles from off-cuts, we’ve built a kitchen that’s environmentally conscious, characterful, and designed to stand the test of time.
LAMU is more than a kitchen — it’s a conscious design statement. A space where sustainability, woodwork tradition and contemporary style meet.
