Using Sensa Platino by Cosentino in a Warm and Textured Kitchen Design

For this elegant Esher home, HUX created a kitchen that brings together refined craftsmanship with a warm, earthy aesthetic inspired by the clients’ South African heritage. Stained oak cabinetry with delicate fluted detailing forms the foundation, complemented by a leathered Cosentino Sensa Platino island, satin brushed brass accents, and the subtle shimmer of bronze antique mirrors framing the floating shelves and bar.

Beyond its visual appeal, every detail was designed for purposeful living, from the bespoke wine display cabinet above an integrated wine fridge to the custom oak ladder and brass rail offering graceful access to tall storage. Hidden pantry space keeps the design sleek, while textured materials and layered finishes create a space that feels luxurious, personal, and built for a lifetime of use.

For The Pelhams project, the client asked for a kitchen and joinery scheme that felt warm and textured while retaining a sense of sophistication. By prioritising a palette of earthy tones, fluted oak detailing, and natural stone, the aim was to create a space that was welcoming and refined. At the centre of the design is Sensa Platino by Cosentino, chosen for its silver-grey base and striking veining that give the kitchen a natural depth. But beyond its visual appeal, this surface was selected for its unique performance qualities. Treated to be stain-resistant, Sensa Platino withstands the demands of a busy family home without compromising on elegance. Its low-maintenance finish ensures that everyday spills and marks can be easily managed, while its durability and premium quality mean it retains its beauty for years to come.

Designed as both a family hub and a space for entertaining, the kitchen centres around a generous island with bar seating, creating a place to gather, cook, and connect. Intelligent storage and considered layouts ensure the kitchen works just as hard on a weeknight as it does when hosting friends. The Sensa Platino surface extends across the kitchen island and into the home bar, creating a cohesive material flow that feels both robust and natural. This choice perfectly balanced the family’s desire for practicality with moments of luxury, as the bold drama of the quartzite paired elegantly with warm cabinetry tones and oak veneers, resulting in a home that feels both grounded and refined.
