Most readers begin with KITCHEN FUNDAMENTALS - our foundational guide in the series before diving deeper into more specific topics. 

Designed as a companion to Kitchen Fundamentals, Kitchen | Materials examines the tactile and technical choices that define contemporary joinery. The guide surveys the major surface systems—laminates, veneers, two-pack finishes, solid timber and stone, explaining how each influences a kitchen’s performance, longevity and sensory character.

Moving beyond surface selection, it introduces the underlying logic of cores, edges, finishes and benchtop compositions, clarifying how material systems work together and what they each demand in return. The discussion balances pragmatic detail with studio insight, encouraging a design approach grounded in material honesty: where surface and structure speak the same language.

Whether specifying for residential projects or preparing a client presentation, Kitchen | Materials provides a concise, coherent framework for making decisions that endure, technically resolved, visually consistent and deeply rooted in craft.
