Breakfast bar
An egg-shaped glass breakfast bar is overlaid onto an oval end cupboard, giving the island another level and helping to bounce light around the room. The top of the cabinet is edged with a fine layer of American Black walnut and inlaid with a band of polished nickel and a centrepiece of Russian burr walnut to add interest to the design.
