ABOUT DAKAR
Introducing Dakar — a sophisticated bespoke kitchen that blends calm, contemporary living with timeless craftsmanship. Designed for our clients in Worthing, this kitchen transforms a spacious extension under a glass roof into a bright, airy heart of the home, where cooking, dining and socialising flow together effortlessly.
Dakar embraces a refined “Japandi” sensibility — the elegant fusion of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian warmth. By combining deep, olive-green cabinetry with natural fluted oak accents, we’ve crafted a bespoke kitchen full of subtle contrasts: soft yet grounded, modern yet rooted in natural materials.
More than just a cooking space, Dakar is built for living: generous storage with expansive pantry cupboards and drawer units keeps everyday clutter out of sight, while a striking central island becomes the social hub — ideal for relaxed meals, casual chatting or hosting friends.
With hand-crafted oak details, a carefully curated material palette and a collaborative design process, Dakar represents what a true bespoke kitchen should be — personal, durable, and designed around lifestyle.
KITCHEN HIGHLIGHTS
- Warm, textured fluted oak accents paired with deep olive-green cabinetry — a harmonious blend of wood and colour that defines the room’s character.
- Crisp, clean white worktops chosen to reflect light from the glass roof and enhance the sense of space and openness.
- Elongated custom oak handles, handmade by the client — a subtle yet striking touch that emphasises the handcrafted, bespoke nature of the kitchen.
- A generous central island, offering both workspace and a relaxed social area — perfect for cooking, gathering or entertaining.
KITCHEN DETAILS
- Cabinetry & Doors: Dark olive-green cabinetry finished in Forbo Furniture Linoleum (laminated to plywood), chosen for durability, texture and a deep, sophisticated tone that works beautifully with natural oak accents.
- Wood Accents: Fluted solid oak used for detailing — the rippled texture introduces tactile warmth, visual depth and a natural character that elevates the kitchen beyond standard flat cabinetry.
- Worktops & Surfaces: Clean, white Hanex worktops, selected to contrast with the dark cabinetry and bounce daylight around the space — enhancing brightness under the glass roof and contributing to a fresh, contemporary look.
- Hardware & Handle Details: Long, elegant oak handles — handmade — that add bespoke charm and reinforce the handcrafted quality of the build.
WHY DAKAR REPRESENTS BESPOKE, SUSTAINABLE & LUXURY KITCHEN DESIGN
Dakar embodies the best of bespoke kitchen design: a carefully considered blend of material, form and lifestyle. By pairing high-performance materials like Forbo and Hanex with sustainably sourced oak and meticulous joinery, we’ve created a kitchen that’s built to last — in both style and substance.
The thoughtful layout, hidden storage and social island make Dakar not only a functional kitchen, but a central living space crafted for real life. Every element — from handmade handles to natural wood detailing — reflects our commitment to bespoke kitchens that are as unique as the people who live in them.
