Smith Family
Natural character. Everyday purpose.
The Smith Family island brings a black-oak live-edge top, navy cabinetry and brass details together in a working kitchen. It is a different kind of gathering place: one used through the ordinary rhythm of the day.

Start with the wood
The workshop photograph shows the broad top before it becomes part of the kitchen. The grain and natural edge give the surface its character; the finished piece carries those details into the room.
Resolve the practical details
Drawers and cabinets provide useful storage below. A power outlet rises from the top where it is needed. The island’s purpose is in those everyday details as much as in its first impression.
Make the materials work together
Navy cabinetry gives the figured wood a strong, quiet base. Brass pulls provide a warmer detail, while the live edge keeps the material’s original shape visible.
