The results are in! – The reaction to The Sebastian Cox Kitchen by deVOL

3rd June 2015

By Collette Black

We are so pleased with all of your amazing feedback on our brand new Sebastian Cox Kitchen range that we wanted to share some of our favourite blogs with you ahead of the official range launch on our website (which is coming very soon!)

Even before we’d finished putting on the last lick of inky blue black dye, this kitchen was causing a bit of a stir amongst the big names in interior design.

 

Whilst The Telegraph’s distinguished style supplement, Luxury, chose our launch as one of Clerkenwell Design Week’s highlights, London Design Agenda, who provide the ultimate guide to London Design, also branded our stand as a ‘must visit’. We were then thrilled to discover that quirky-cool online design magazine Despoke had featured us as one of their exhibitor alerts.

With so much excitement surrounding the project, the pressure was on to produce something special. But once we had set up our stand and saw how beautiful it looked, we just couldn’t wait to show you what we’d come up with.

Like anxious school children on results day, we eagerly awaited the first review and couldn’t have been happier when they came flooding in with a resounding A!

The Trend Bible, known in the industry as ‘futurologist trendhunters’, praised the ‘handcrafted rustic appearance’ and featured us amongst its editor’s picks of the week! They loved how the ‘resulting effect was that of being in a carefully designed carpenter’s workshop.’

Luxury architectural interior design practice, Oliver Burns, also admired the beautiful craftsmanship of the range which they felt combined ‘traditional techniques with modern innovation’.

Stylus, known for providing amazing innovation research, really liked how our design ‘readdress[ed] familiar materials with modern styling’. In their lovely blog, they spoke about how we are part of a wave of ‘designs that are rich in heritage and tell a story’.

Word of our unique new range has even spread overseas! Renowned worldwide trend-forecasters, Global Color Research, included our Kitchen on their short list of what was on their style ‘radar’, and Germany’s Architectural Digest Magazine described it as ‘charmingly rustic’…or so Google Translate tells us!
