Side Pressed Caramel Kitchen by Houtwerff

In this kitchen project, bamboo was chosen with intention. The client was captivated by the natural aesthetic and the clean, linear patterns that bamboo offers, appreciating its ability to create a sense of calm and modernity while maintaining the warmth typically associated with wood. From a variety of bamboo options available, the client selected Side Pressed Caramel with a matte finish to achieve a sleek yet organic design.

Bamboo’s versatility makes it an ideal material for both design and installation. The kitchen island features a rounded edge, crafted using three layered bamboo panels, with carefully cut and angled strips forming the curve. The use of Side Pressed Caramel bamboo not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also demonstrates bamboo’s flexibility in creating custom features. This project highlights how bamboo can deliver both elegance and functionality, offering a sustainable yet sophisticated solution for any modern home.
