Lagoon Kitchen

Lagoon

Lagoon is a kitchen design inspired by the dance of blue-green Aegean waves on pearl coral reefs and the mystical collision of waves merging with golden sand grains. It reflects the harmony of Greek temple architecture, mythology, and the bond of nature and light. Hellenistic carvings, bronze accents, and handcrafted cabinet doors with gold leaf and blue paint evoke a mythic aesthetic. Constructed from solid wood, lacquered finishes and Volakas marble, it integrates technologies like single-finger door systems, automated drawers, and adjustable lighting, blending tradition with modern comfort.

The Niall Cognac Glass

The Niall

The Niall is a cognac glass designed to improve nosing and tasting. The glass is made of soda-lime glass, a material that absorbs ethanol vapour from the liquid. A conical depression at the base, named the Vortex Point, controls the flow of the poured spirit and creates a swirl. The bulb curves in and out to slow the rising vapour, giving the glass walls more time to absorb it. A thick base and an elevated stem allow a comfortable grip without warming the drink. Reduced ethanol vapour lets the drinker sense more of the aroma and flavour.

The Finn Whiskey Glass

The Finn

The Finn was designed as the ultimate tasting glass for the whiskey aficionado, where every element has been carefully conceived to allow the drinker to taste and nose the whiskey. The stem allows the drinker to elevate the whiskey, toast and proceed to nosing with optimal control, whilst the thicker glass density ensures the environment has no effect on the temperature of the whiskey. The Vortex Point, bulb and chicane come together to remove the ethanol vapour, ensuring the drinker can detect every layer of flavour and aroma that have developed through decades of time, craft and skill.
