This is a new breed of informal entertaining space, an eat-in kitchen elevated to a room for culinary theatre. This Belgravia home is for the man who hosts and knows his Yoshihiro from his swordsmith’s Nesmuk. The kitchen at this quintessential London address has been designed for hosting while cooking, for sharing while communing.
The centre point of this subtly impressive space is the Black Beauty marble island table that adjoins the central preparation area. Elevated as a stage, it is the perfect space for paring and filleting, for showing off a gourmand’s appreciation and skill with raw ingredients. The actual cooking is on the side, deflecting vapours from guests comfortably seated on Wedge-footed chairs.
Overall the look is richly muted and layered. Textured wallpaper, window dressings with simply pleated cashmere curtains and double-weight voile blinds create a comfortable and cosseting setting for guests while balancing the room’s darker colour palettes. The timber panelling, patinated bronze cabinetry, fireplace and convex mirror create the traditional yet intimate ambience of a gentleman’s study.

Tableware has been hand-selected from Willer, a gallery which curates design and art pieces for interiors. Here are shown porcelains and fine crystal from its Limoges and Murano collections. Meanwhile Tom Dixon’s bronze brass bowl is a design statement in itself yet perfectly coordinates with the room.
Select items from LINLEY’s Trafalgar range include curved whiskey tumblers, perfect for imbibing a glass of Dalmore 1976 from the Captain’s Decanter, as well as the caviar bowl, from which to serve white gold caviar.
Nesmuk’s EXKLUSIV Full Damascus consists of up to 480 layers of selected carbon steel. It is distinguished by its double-sided hollow-ground blade with the finest cutting edge, an elegant wild Damascus pattern and a Rockwell hardness of 62. An aesthetic silver collar is precision-integrated into the perfectly ergonomic knife handle, which Nesmuk can finish in a range of fine woods or Juma.
