Elegant Chef's Kitchen

Luxe materials add appeal to this functional workspace.

The grand kitchen at Tawse Winery in Vineland, Ontario, channels a striking Parisian bistro with its cool Carrara marble and rich African shedua marquetry, which was tested before installation for durability. A dramatic antique chandelier, found in Paris, highlights the unusually square island, while a mirrored wall adds interest and visually expands the space.
