Kitchen of the Week: A London Kitchen Inspired by Traditional Haberdashery Stores

August 26, 2021

Noticed of late: kitchens that look like furnished rooms as opposed to, well, kitchens. If you’re intrigued by the trend, you may want to consider deVOL’s Haberdasher’s Kitchen line of modular cabinets inspired, says the company, by traditional British men’s clothing stores and their “glass doors and sliding drawers, of row upon row of lift-up oak cubbyholes full of ribbons and buttons, patterns and fabrics and soft balls of wool.”

Recently, deVOL reached out to us about their St. John’s Square showroom kitchen, outfitted with their Haberdasher cupboards, in Clerkenwell, London. It’s cozy, handsome, and characterful—the perfect kind of kitchen for the coming cold-weather months.

The countertops are honed Carrara marble; the marble on the island is extra thin (20mm) for an elegant look. The pendant light is simply a filament bulb purchased from a local hardware store. The stove is by Bertazzoni.
