Designer Kitchen & Bathroom – August 2018, Having considered the European picture for kitchen and bathroom brands in last month’s magazine, we’re bringing things closer to home this time with a feature on British design. As well as showcasing some of the key new products from home-grown designers and manufacturers, we also gather views on the ever-muddied waters of Brexit, finding out what it really means for some of our UK brands and how they plan to manage the ongoing uncertainty. We also go bold with our look at colour in the kitchen, rounding up the options for some brave, stand-out kitchen ideas, plus we check in to some of the finest hotels to see how their take on luxury bathrooms could help inspire similarly ambitious design ideas in a residential context. Finally, we speak with charismatic designer Kurt Merki Jr who continues his collaboration with Duravit by officially opening the German bathroom brand’s new London showroom in Clerkenwell.
