The Fromagerie Cabinet

Interiors Editor for The Times, Katrina Burroughs, graciously included LANSERRING’s design for a bespoke fromagerie cabinet in her recent article covering high end interiors trends.

We were delighted to be consulted about our observations of our market and very proud to share this design. Speaking to The Times, LANSERRING’s Alex Beaugeard explained “We were asked by a London client to explore the perfect conditions for maturing cheese prior to consumption.”

The fromagerie cabinet is a stone-clad environment, which keeps the contents a few degrees cooler than room temperature due to the thermal mass of stone. We lined the enclosure with tiles of Himalayan rock salt because it helps to remove moisture from the environment thus accelerating the development of the flavours and textures in the cheese. Backlighting filters through the rock salt, creating a soft pink glow.

Refined Larder Concept’s

Homes & Gardens journalist Linda Clayton has kindly acknowledged the merits of LANSERRING’s Pickling Cabinet, describing it as an exquisite piece of living room furniture inspired by larder designs. In her recent article, Clayton appreciates the seamless integration of culinary storage and interior design, highlighting our dedication to crafting functional art objects.

The Pickling Cabinet, meticulously handcrafted using a combination of American walnut, patinated brass, and marble, stands as a testament to our commitment to creating exceptional pieces. Its sleek, slatted sliding screens offer glimpses into the illuminated internal spaces, captivating observers with its understated elegance and meticulous attention to detail.

Clayton specifically admires the small shelves incorporated within the cabinet, which not only serve as practical storage spaces but also present captivating platforms for each pickling jar. This unique design element adds a touch of sophistication and ensures that the cabinet showcases its contents as individual works of art.

We at LANSERRING are delighted to announce that our Ladbroke Grove Townhouse project has garnered recognition with not one, but two features in Homes & Gardens magazine. The first article, penned by Linda Clayton and titled “Invisible kitchen ideas – 8 reasons why this subtle trend is taking over,” delves into the contemporary design movement of incorporating invisible kitchens into living spaces. This trend aims to seamlessly blend the kitchen into the overall aesthetic by concealing handles, appliances, storage, and even cooking areas.

The article by Linda Clayton explores the growing popularity of invisible kitchens and presents eight compelling reasons why this trend is making waves in the design world. By creating a harmonious integration between the kitchen and the living space, homeowners can enjoy a cohesive and uncluttered environment. The concealed elements contribute to a sleek and minimalist look, fostering a sense of openness and serenity. With the kitchen discreetly tucked away, the focus shifts to the surrounding decor and furnishings, allowing them to shine.

In addition to Linda Clayton’s feature, Jennifer Ebert contributes an article titled “Kitchen storage trends – 7 statement looks and innovations that will change kitchen design forever.” This article emphasizes the impact of handle-free kitchens in achieving a minimalist aesthetic. By eliminating visible handles, the kitchen maintains a clean and streamlined appearance. This design choice not only enhances the overall visual appeal but also promotes functionality and ease of use.

Both articles commend the Ladbroke Grove Townhouse project for its innovative incorporation of invisible kitchens and handle-free designs. At LANSERRING, we take pride in our commitment to pushing boundaries and redefining kitchen spaces. Our goal is to create environments that seamlessly blend form and function, enabling homeowners to enjoy living spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical. We are grateful for the recognition from Homes & Gardens and will continue to innovate  in the world of kitchen design.

We are delighted to announce the launch of a new collaboration – Cadence – with revered piano makers Steinway & Sons.

It was a pleasure to discover our shared heritage in European crafting traditions which, like LANSERRING, Steinway has brought into a new era for their field. As design and craftsmanship fanatics, our collaboration represents a meeting of minds to create a unique space and experience.

Cadence is at the lower ground level of a classic Victorian terraced house with a south facing garden. At the southeast corner of the LANSERRING-designed space stands the Steinway ‘Spirio’: the world’s finest high-resolution player piano. Using cutting-edge actuator technology, the Steinway ‘Spirio’ will play itself in an exact recreation of a grand master performance, creating an unadulterated listening experience of live piano music.

Behind this peerless piano is a curved wall which reflects its rich tonal sound outwards into the room. A bespoke designed sound-dispersing chandelier made from steam bent veneer hangs above. Its abstract curving leaf design is inspired by concert hall design of international quality. There are no speakers; the aural experience from every zone has been planned and augmented with LANSERRING design and craftsmanship.

The space itself is encircled by a band of concrete which wraps around the upper half of the walls. At a second depth, the lower half of the walls are clad in natural quartzite. Steel fins hold the walls and ceiling in place while at the same time creating shafts for natural light to pour down the walls. In the bays created by the fins, timber shelves sit proud of the wall, allowing the light to wash uninterrupted down the concrete face. The shelves are populated by artwork, sculptures, and musical memorabilia. Cabinets fitted in the bays next to the seating area feature metal and glass doors in classic LANSERRING vernacular, and the doors open on piano hinges.

At the southwest corner of the room is an elegant LANSERRING kitchen. Raised off the floor by brass legs in a unique faceted finish, the cabinetry manages to feel light and airy. Their fronts are detailed with flowing, organic lines which, on closer inspection, are found to be grooves that flow gracefully across the wood and metalwork. The design is continued on the kitchen island in front, referencing the flow of melody. On the worktop, the gas burners have been sunk into the quartzite, maximising the visual continuity of the crystalline structure. Here we see LANSERRING’s mastercraftmanship skill and attention to detail at work: this elegant, low impact design can only be achieved with an absolute mastery of stonework.

The entire experience has been designed to transform from day to night. The music playing on the Steinway will progress from light, relaxed daytime music to deeper atmospheric music for the evening. As the inhabitants of the space embrace the lower light and drinks party atmosphere, LANSERRING design will quietly adapt. Where during the day, sunlight would pour down the lightwells, our lighting plan in the evening uses up lights in the bottom of the bays between the fins for low-lit elegance.

At the top of the space, a walled winter garden has been sunk to ground level. In the evening, the inhabitants of the space can migrate here and enjoy the fire pit and the percussion of crackling embers with ‘Spirio’ music still flowing from indoors.

As a bespoke kitchen designer, LANSERRING is often asked to rise to exacting and unique briefs. Cadence is a space for a music lover and frequent host looking to revel in and share their passion for music. For LANSERRING, rising to a brief such as this is seizing the opportunity of bespoke design to augment the client’s lifestyle and transform their experience of their home.
