Crystal Clear Kitchen by De Giulio

Crystal Clear is a unique combination of two rooms that house a hard-working prep and entertainment area and adjacent sitting room. Weaving together a combination of products, materials and functional aesthetic to engage the senses, De Giulio designs an environment that is at once a welcoming respite for family gatherings, yet with the right amount of edginess to set the tone for entertaining in style.я

Crystal Clear is testimony to De Giulio_s abilities to blur the lines of utilitarian need and the comfortable and familiar, resulting in an inviting kitchen space that resonates with impeccable style. The range of product includes many of his own designs _ from the Multiere© stainless steel sink and Bacifiore© entertainment sink by Kallista© _ to Metal Boy custom cabinet exclusive to de Giulio kitchen design.я

The Kallista© Multiere© kitchen sink with task-oriented accessories and the Bacifiore© entertainment sink are featured in Crystal Clear, designed by De Giulio to delight both novice and kitchen aficionados.я De Giulio selected fabricated 16-gauge stainless steel to be used in the manufacture of the sinks to ensure that the forms would withstand even the most rigorous daily usage while still remaining beautiful for years to come. _I call stainless steel the consummate neutral,_ said De Giulio. _It looks great with everything and will never go out of style because it_s so functional and durable. For those reasons, this material is a classic._

The Multiere 45x18x18 multi-tiered sink by Kallista in its Brushed Stainless Steel finish, features corner drains to maximize basin space and storage space under the cabinet, a flatware tray for rinsing cutlery, and a removable plantation teak cutting board, which nestles securely to the basin on a glide to allow the board to be re-positioned across the length of the sink as needed. Final touches include a colander holder and a deluxe cutting board with knife holder, sharpening rod, dishcloth holder, and drain board when reversed. The Bacifiore 18x18x18 Entertainment Sink by Kallista in a Polished Distressed Finish disarms in dazzling contrast with its squared configuration and highly polished, hammered interior balanced by a centering drain.я

Also designed by De Giulio is the custom crafted Metal Boy cabinetry. Boasting fumed eucalyptus exterior and a German silver liner, the Metal Boy is both fashionable and functional. The upper cabinet can be customized to fit any space or configuration to address individual needs and tastes, housing pots and pans behind clear glass doors. The lower cabinet is fitted with a drawer to discreetly store lids. The modern design delivers depth and breadth to the kitchen space, while its utilitarian appeal assures the chef_s tools are readily accessible.

For Crystal Clear, De Giulio also specified the KOHLER© Trough kitchen sink with piping hot faucet; Kallista One_ collection pull-down kitchen faucet, wall-mounted pot filler, and soap dispenser; Sub-Zero wine refrigerator; and a Wolf six-burner stainless steel range. De Giulio sourced Iceberg
Quartzite for the countertop and range backsplash, its buttery countenance and rectilinear clean lines playing against the cool silver tones.

A rustic teak anvil supports the countertop, creating organic relief within the room. In juxtaposition to the teakwood_s natural warmth and hand-honed quality is the dramatic ANN SACKS© Nero Marquina marble countertops and ANN SACKS Antique Nickel Pyrite backsplash. Two windows bring in an expanse of natural light that reflects across the recessed, warm silver leafed ceiling appointed with two small ceiling mount crystal chandeliers. Completing the setting is an intimate sitting room tucked behind the main kitchen area where low slung, Klismos-inspired BAKER© Victoire upholstered chairs and the diminutive LeLion Stand from The Jacques Garcia Collection are placed at the ready for cozy conversation.
