Laminex and Melbourne-based Studio Doherty have unveiled two new kitchens, Scoop and Nest, showcasing an abundance of colour in the heart of the home. General manager of sales and marketing at Laminex, Sacha Leagh-Murray said they tasked Studio Doherty with putting their distinctive spin on the kitchens, using products from the Laminex range.
“Our brief for Studio Doherty was to explore new applications and design possibilities when working with Laminex products, as well as using colour and texture in exciting and innovative ways,” she said.
“Studio Doherty are known for their vibrant style and fearlessness when it comes to incorporating bold colour and texture, and so with their unique design approach and our incredible range of laminates, we knew it would make for a perfect match. The kitchens are an inspiring example of Laminex’s constant pursuit of high-quality products and aesthetic appeal.”
Scoop was designed with ample space for families. The kitchen seamlessly blends the functionality of ample storage with the playfulness of a characterful palette of warm, earthy and refreshing tones, while also demonstrating the versatility of texture and form in the Laminex range.
A muted blue kitchen island serves as the focal point with its rectilinear profile at one end and a sinuous curve at the opposing end. Textured stone, terracotta and off-white shades complement the cooking bench.
Mardi Doherty of Studio Doherty said she strived to create a unique and inviting space.
“We wanted to push the playfulness of the kitchens while maintaining the necessary functionality of a modern kitchen. Our main goal was to showcase how Laminex cabinetry can be used in exciting, new ways,” she said.
The Laminex portfolio features a selection of Australian-made laminate finishes, such as AbsoluteMatte, which are available in a range of shades from the Laminex Colour Collection. The collaboration demonstrates how the colourful product range can be used in small or spacious environments to give personality to a space.
