Kitchen Tour: A British Cook Space That's a Celebration of Wood

The owners of this handmade kitchen liken the design process to a trip to the farmers’ market. They set off with no preconceptions of what they might achieve. Instead, they were led by materials. In the same way that good-quality, readily available ingredients often make for the tastiest dishes, by working with readily available, responsibly sourced British materials, they have crafted a kitchen from a material palette that sits together as naturally as a seasonal, locally sourced plate of just-picked ingredients.
This is the kitchen of British couple Seb and Brogan Cox. Seb is an award-winning regenerative designer, craftsman and environmentalist working with UK woodlands; his partner, Brogan, is the creative director of Seb’s eponymous brand.
The Esse Bakeheart oven.
The drawer fronts are made from solid wood panels with simple slot handles.
The “perfect white tile.” The tea towel rail is from Ferm Living.
The glowing kitchen pantry. “I love the clarity of the yellow,” says Brogan. “It’s pure sunshine.”
The Sebastian Cox pendants above the table are grown from mycelium and green wood waste (hazel and goat willow, harvested in Kent).
