Black Tie

Black tie kitchen with a white marble island and white cabinets

Black Tie

We call it our Black-Tie Kitchen for its timeless black and white formality and tailored details that speak the language of couture.

With their history in taste making, our clients wanted a high-performance, showpiece kitchen for entertainment and one that would merge with the grandness of the home’s architecture.

This space is one of integration where cabinetry takes on the role of classical architecture and where function is uniquely concealed. With a seamless paneled approach, jib doors camouflage the pantry entrance and elevate this storage space to ‘secret-room’ status.

The wine room is a moody rendition of the kitchen where a deep envelope accentuates white marble. The room is sculptural with striking black lacquered niches that are also strategically illuminated to showcase a suspended collection of fine wines. The stepped marble central niche and console offer a place for art, florals and spirits

I correlate many of the key features to the dressmaker’s finery. The crisp appearance of the range hood, for example, with its glossy lacquered white finish on a fluted profile reads like a plissé-fronted shirt, and the elegance of a black-on-black ensemble between matte finished islands and patent leathered stools reminds me of satin lapels on a wool dinner jacket in the classic tonal palette.

The adjoining fireplace feature wall expresses the RSd philosophy around authenticity, restraint, and fascination.

Classic profiles and sophisticated RSd custom furniture connect with a stylized pattern in wallcovering, vivacious florals, and expressive art and sculpture.

‘A black and white palette is classic, dramatic, and exudes confidence. But the success of this scheme lies in the artful layering, bespoke detail, and the colorful hits that present like jewelry.’
