Sebastian Cox and Devol Kitchens – A perfectly unfitted fit

What an absolute pleasure to see a collaboration between two Modenus favorites: Sebastian Cox, we wrote about his work with coppiced hazel a few years ago, and Devol Kitchens, one of our all time favorite kitchen brands in the UK. The kitchen below is now installed in Devol’s showroom in Cotes Mill, Leicestershire but we, of course, hope to see more of Devol and Sebastian in the US soon.

You can see where this is going at first glance, right? Simple lines, organic materials and exquisite detailing. Less is truly more!

Unfitted kitchens have long been a thing in the UK, much more so than the US but we think that now is the time to explore kitchens that take liberties, that do not focus on maximizing every inch but rather on evoking charm, creativity and a relaxed lifestyle.

We love the simplicity of this kitchen armoire with its finger holes in place of hardware and which opens onto this….

…basketweave style backing which allows air to circulate inside the cabinet.

And finally, important in every kitchen but especially in an unfitted one, interior organisation. Devol and Sebastian continue the organic style of the design with natural wood interior fittings that keep every utensil in view and reach.
