Custom Kitchen Island

We saw an opportunity to add personalized design to a core piece of the kitchen: the island. After years of producing & installing islands, we developed a list of 12+ modules for clients to choose from, based on best-practices in storage, food-prep, & hosting capabilities. We fine-tuned these modules with the helpful of Michelin-recognized chefs (please see collaborations below).

Our team builds each island by order, guiding our clients through function & materials. We update our clients on production-progress of their island, and hand-deliver & install their island in their home anywhere in the USA.

  • ~$1k-$2k per module.

  • Timeline: ~2-4 months.

    Delivery & installation: free for Austin, TX.

    Timeline & Budget for deliveries outside of Austin, TX to be determined on a case by case basis - shipping across USA is available and encouraged

  • Each island can be customizable and you can add a set of modules, different wood, finishes, colors, wheels, extended counter
