Neptune proudly introduces the Borough freestanding kitchen collection, its first new kitchen collection in more than ten years, combining the versatility of freestanding furniture with Neptune’s hallmark craftsmanship and timeless design values. Neptune Borough Neptune Borough Meet Borough A twist on the traditional kitchen; Borough is a collection of freestanding furniture, rooted in three decades of design expertise. Fitted with appliances, each piece – from cooking island to sink cabinet and pantry – has been designed to sit independently or together, offering a more fluid, informal approach to cabinetry. Elevated on tapered legs, Borough blends Mid-century Scandinavian design with a distinctively British design flair. It’s clean architectural lines are softened by gracefully curved corners, bringing a contemporary ease and character that feels at once timeless and modern. Seamlessly integrating with a home’s architecture, Borough adapts effortlessly to open-plan spaces or alongside fitted cabinetry, considering form and function in equal measure. These new kitchen pieces are launched in addition to existing pieces previously launched in 2025, including the kitchen island and chopping block. Neptune Borough Heritage reimagined for today The Borough collection takes its inspiration from the very first kitchen John Sims-Hilditch, co-founder of Neptune, created for his own home – a freestanding design that prioritised flexibility and individuality. With that same pioneering spirit, Borough reimagines the concept for today’s homes, spaces that are no longer static but continually adapting to modern life. Designed as furniture in their own right, each piece can be reconfigured, layered over time, and carried seamlessly into the wider home. The result is a collection that honours Neptune’s heritage while answering the needs of modern living. Neptune Borough Neptune Borough Product Highlights Borough’s hero pieces are designed with flexibility at their core, making them just as relevant outside the kitchen as within it. The cooking island doubles as both a generous kitchen prep surface and a social hub, with space for seating that makes it ideal for open-plan living. The pantry shows its versatility in any setting – as useful for storing drinks and glassware as it is for dry goods and appliances. The sink cabinet conceals a dishwasher, bins, and cleaning essentials, helping maintain a clutter-free space, while smaller pieces such as the wall cabinet or step stool lend themselves to boot rooms, utility spaces, and beyond. Each design can move fluidly through the home, adapting as needs change.
