Modern Kitchen Source

Posted By Jill-LA | Mar 08, 2009 | 4 Comments | Category: Kitchens


I thought I would take the opportunity to showcase a kitchen design product line from Germany called Uro Kitchens. The line is represented here in Los Angeles by a colleague and friend of mine, Morgan, who often assists me with kitchen design projects for clients of mine. Morgan is extremely competent when it comes to understanding kitchen design and specifications along with knowledge of appliances for kitchens having a great deal of experience both working for high end kitchen design companies along with it being a family business. On a recent kitchen remodel, I asked Morgan if she wanted to bid her product but my concern was my client being on a budget. She introduced me to a line she has acquired which features the same look for a fraction of the cost with a better lead time.



The Uro line is similar in quality and specification as some of the other high end European kitchens but it is a fraction of the price. Many of my clients who are knowledgeable of some of the other high end kitchens from Germany & Italy are concerned with the cost factor but with the Uro kitchen line, the price points are much more competitive. I’ve found as a designer trying to provide a good value for my clients along with the aesthetics – this is a great product to introduce to my clients. There are some limitations as far as no custom colors or sizes, but by providing specific dimensions the company will configure a kitchen layout that best incorporates the function and needs of the client along with the specifications of the product line. Production and lead time runs 4-8 weeks and that for a European product is typically unheard of. All in all, I think if going for the look of a modern high end kitchen – this is definitely a product to consider.

OC Event

Posted By Jill-LA | Mar 04, 2009 | 1 Comment | Category: Events

For any of you in the OC, there is an event at Lightopia sponsered by Riviera Interiors. (Click on image to enlarge to view invite.)

(On a side note, I am curious to know if we in fact have an “audience” in Orange County. Being that I am an OC native (but also a long time Angeleno) and that I am “bi-coastal” (ok, that’s a joke but I do spend my time between OC & LA) – I would love to know if we have readers in the OC and if so, I would be happy to feature more blog posts on OC in addition to LA. Thanks in advance for any feedback!)

The Swedish based clothing store H&M is now offering a home collection line. It is debuting first in European markets and will be available by mail order. The line will be organized by different rooms in the house and also by palette (taking cue from fashion). The concept will also be on value for money – not unlike their retail clothing stores.

I took a trip over to the Walker Zanger showroom in West Hollywood last week to select stone & tile samples for two kitchen projects I am currently working on, and, as I had not paid a visit to the showroom in some time, I enjoyed seeing some new items. While waiting for my samples, I snapped some pictures to share of some of the new-er collections:
