Why This Room Caught My Eye

I am a big fan of the String shelving system. So far I have always seen it in living rooms or home offices. But never in a kitchen – until I’ve spotted the above shown picture. A String shelving system for the kitchen? I’d say oh yes! Well, I could definitely live with this kitchen concept (I keep repeating: If I had a decent kitchen), but for the time being I can just indulge in this photography and here’s what caught my eye:

• String Shelving: Well of course the most obvious first – the incredibly cool and stylish String shelving. I really love it cause it’s a sort of design understatement. It is simple, unostentatious, sleek and rather sophisticated. Definitely a cool choice – even for the kitchen!
• Industrial Pendant: This low-hanging, black glossy industrial pendant is a perfect match for the shelving system made of wood and white metal strings. It adds a certain urban vibe to the setting.
• Bistro Chairs: These seem just perfect here – they catch up the pendant’s black colour and seem to counteract the rather modern shelving system by recalling the timelessness of old Parisian bistros and brasseries – a visual delight!
