Bespoke Kitchens · Hand-built in Britain

GRAIN

Kitchens drawn around the way you cook and gather — made by hand, in solid timber and stone, to last a lifetime.

The Studio

Kitchens, made by hand.

GRAIN is a small studio of cabinetmakers and designers. We don't fit boxes from a catalogue — we draw each kitchen around the room it belongs to, then build it in our own workshop from solid timber, real stone and brass that ages well. One studio, one hand, from the first sketch to the last drawer.

Selected Kitchens

A collection, not a catalogue.

No. I — a walnut kitchen with a Calacatta-marble island.

No. I · Walnut & Calacatta

Warm timber, cool stone.

Rift-sawn walnut against a single block of Calacatta — the quiet contrast a good kitchen is built on.

No. II — a deep forest-green kitchen with a brass range hood.

No. II · Forest

Deep green, brass, candlelight.

Hand-painted in a forest green that turns almost black at night, with an aged-brass hood over the range.

No. III — a pale travertine kitchen in soft daylight.

No. III · Travertine

Pale travertine, low light.

Tone on tone — travertine, oak and lime plaster — for a room that holds the morning and lets it go slowly.

No. IV — a classic bone-white English kitchen.

No. IV · Bone

A timeless English kitchen.

In-frame cabinetry, a deep run of shelving and a single warm pendant — the kitchen you grow old in.

No. V — a dark, dramatic kitchen with a Viola-marble island.

No. V · Viola

One dramatic stone.

A dark room built around a single Viola-marble island — the whole kitchen deferring to one piece of stone.

No. VI — a compact galley kitchen, warmly lit.

No. VI · The Galley

Small footprint, full studio.

Proof that a narrow galley deserves the same hand — every inch drawn, nothing off the shelf.

The Craft

It's in the parts you don't see.

A walnut drawer pulled open to show hand-cut dovetails and a brass runner.
An aged-brass tap over a carved marble basin.

Hand-cut dovetails, solid-brass runners, a tap chosen because it will only look better in ten years. The considered extra is the part no one photographs and everyone feels — the weight of a door, the close of a drawer.

A glazed larder dresser stocked with crockery and jars.

Materials

Chosen to last, not to date.

Solid oak and walnut, real marble and travertine, lime plaster and aged brass. Materials with a grain and a memory — the ones that earn their keep and wear in rather than out.

An open-plan kitchen, dining and living room in warm timber and stone.

The Whole Room

We design the room the kitchen lives in.

A design concept by AMS

We build studios like this.

GRAIN is a concept piece by AMS Design — the kind of considered, single-link world we build for makers and studios who sell something worth slowing down for. If you build something by hand, let's talk.
