When PRISM Design and Mori Design were designing this kitchen for a house in China, they had a very long space that they had to make use of, so they created an extra long kitchen island that has three distinct areas.

 

At one end of the island is a bar that has a live edge wood top sitting on a crisp white counter. Underneath, there’s storage and hidden lighting that lights up the seating.

The next section is dedicated to being a dining table. With enough room to seat six people, the white dining table is an extension of the bar countertop.

Slightly raised up from the dining table is the last section, the kitchen countertop. This area has a sink and a thick stone countertop. Underneath is exposed storage with hidden lighting for kitchenware like glasses and plates.
