The open-plan kitchen-diner is the hub of the house, providing a stunning space to hold dinner parties. A central island unit divides the kitchen from the dining area, but allows the chef to talk to guests. A large drum shade pools light on the dining table and has an extra long flex so it can be hung elsewhere easily.
