Contemporary Kitchen in Tenafly, New Jersey
A contemporary kitchen project in Tenafly, New Jersey, showcases the refined elegance and craftsmanship of Aster Cucine, blending Italian design with modern residential architecture. Designed for a private luxury home in Bergen County, this kitchen reflects a growing demand for minimalist, high-end kitchens throughout Northern New Jersey. The design is defined by clean lines, architectural balance, and a restrained material palette. Dark, matte-finish cabinetry creates a bold yet timeless foundation, while integrated appliances maintain a seamless, uncluttered appearance. Every element is carefully composed to emphasize simplicity, functionality, and visual harmony. At the center of the space, a custom island wrapped in natural stone serves as both a functional workspace and a sculptural focal point. The dramatic stone veining continues into the backsplash, creating material continuity and reinforcing the kitchen’s architectural presence. This seamless use of stone is a signature of modern Italian kitchen design and elevates the overall aesthetic. Large, full-height windows fill the kitchen with natural light, softening the darker tones and highlighting the textures of the cabinetry and stone surfaces. Warm wood flooring adds contrast and warmth, ensuring the space feels inviting while remaining refined. Subtle recessed and indirect ceiling lighting further enhances the clean geometry without overpowering the design.
