Bathroom Fixtures That Glow Neorest LE by TOTO

Fashion Couture Kitchen Isola Linear by Toyo Kitchen

Crossing the boundary between fashion, form and function, the Isola kitchen line by Toyo kitchen is the modern answer to “kitchen couture.” The new Linear modern features a striking cantilevered countertop which emphasizes the kitchen’s configuration, pleasing both practically and aesthetically. Sleek stainless steel meets modern motifs in this contemporary kitchen design. Venetian glass mosaics from Italy and original, eye-catching etched patterns referred to as “Tattoo” – whether it’s the beautiful Chandelier silhouette or the “ruff-n-tuff” Skull and Dog design – adorn this kitchen, which we like to call “functional art.” The look is dramatic, and one-of-a-kind. Toyo says it best, “The idea of the kitchen embraces more than simply ‘a place for cooking.’ Toyo Kitchen trusts that the kitchen also plays a significant role as a space where people enjoy life through eating. Linear serves to suggest a new type of lifestyle – to ‘live in the kitchen.’” For more information visit Toyo Kitchen.
