Here is what a HK$2.2 million kitchen could look like

When you have to cook every day, it’s always better to do it in a fun and enjoyable environment. What you need is a stylish kitchen with a thoughtful design – just the kind of thing that Miles Hartwell and Matt Withingtonspecialise in.

For the duo, the kitchen is not just a place for creating food. “We wanted to [come up with] a kitchen that is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the appetite,” Hartwell explains.

For an appealing dining experience, presentation is key – and a space designed by the duo provides the icing on the cake.

With its two crescent-shaped kitchen bars, “Tipping Point is an optically arresting sculptural kitchen,” Hartwell says. “The concept for this kitchen has captivated our imagination at the design studio. We hope it will fascinate a bold patron.”

The design is not for the faint-hearted, with “the body appearing to defy gravity by impossibly balancing a huge leaning volume on a knife-edge”.

Apart from the intriguing shape, the highly reflective stainless steel surface of the kitchen bar with reclaimed teak and glass also makes a strong impression. According to the duo, the reflective mirror-polished stainless steel is sensitive to its surroundings and echoes its environment.

The lustrous surface generates elegant, elongated reflections, rendering the whole piece almost invisible as it merges effortlessly with its surrounding area.

Together with the circular shape, which creates a self-contained working area, the reflective design heightens
a sense of visual weightlessness – offering a gleaming, eye-catching pair of balancing arcs in perfect symmetry.
