A bold, industrial-meets-natural kitchen where Koate's Wood Varnish 2C DUO in Matt was used by the manufacturer to achieve a finish that is both raw and refined. The result is a space that celebrates honest materials — exposed brick, raw oak, matte black steel, and concrete-effect tile — brought together with exceptional craftsmanship and the right finish.
The centrepiece is a large oak island with hand-cut dovetail joinery, finished in Wood Varnish 2C Matt to enhance the natural grain and knots of the timber while providing durable, long-lasting protection. The same finish carries through to the pantry interior, where oak-lined shelving sits within a deep black frame — a detail that rewards a closer look.
Wood Varnish 2C DUO in Matt delivers a hard-wearing, low-sheen finish that protects the timber without masking its natural character — ideal for high-use surfaces like kitchen islands and joinery that need to perform as well as they look.
