Custom Fronts launched at the start of the year as a stylish, sustainable kitchen design service that takes inspiration from nature.
“Our design philosophy is really quite simple,” explains Rachel.
“We are influenced by Modernism and midcentury design, and Ian has always loved working with plywood,” Rachel says. Muted tones such as Seven Sisters, Dungeness Black, Musk Mallow, and Downlands Path are named after the local landscapes that inspired them.

Rachel, whose background is in law, stresses that assembly is simple.
The plywood edge bands are left exposed.
The edge will always be the first thing to go and it’s important to us that all our products are extremely durable and last for a very long time,” says Rachel.
The Dungeness Black fronts are “inspired by the old black fishermen’s cottages in atmospheric Dungeness in Kent.” The studio is also happy to match to any color you like, for a truly customized finish.
