Kitchens you’ll crave Great design costs more but will last MARTHA UNIACKE BREEN NATIONAL POST These days, it’s really not that hard to design a kitchen that looks fabulous. You can pretty much load up your car with boxes from the local building or Scandi design store and build something that looks just like a magazine picture, and you can spend as much or as little money as you choose. But, not surprisingly, there’s a reason one picture-perfect kitchen costs 10 times as much as another. As kitchen designer Kevin Karst observes diplomatically, it might not be such a disappointment if
a kitchen from a box store doesn’t last more than a few years, if you only paid a few thousand. It’s when you get into the higher end that the differences between a good kitchen and a great one really begin to tell: A client wh o c o m missions a k i t ch e n that costs $85,000 or more is entitled to a product that will Kevin last for deKarst cades. And that kind of durability is much more than skin-deep. Over the course of a 35-year career, Karst has gathered a unique perspective on what goes into a really well-made custom kitchen. He worked for years in the contract furniture industry, where he gained insight into, among other things, how to make cabinetry and veneers

The island is fronted by a specially cut single piece of veneer which is free of unsightly seams. that stand up to years of hard use. From his work in the retail interior industry, he internalized the principles of space organization and the importance of efficient lighting. He has also worked as a custom millworker, and in product management for Irpinia Kitchens and AYA Kitchens. In short, Karst is inti-
mately familiar with both the economies of mass-production and the techniques of Old World craftsmanship. Karst showed us a beautiful Modernist kitchen he recently completed in the Beaches area of Toronto that not only has a sleek and stunning look, but is easy to live and work in.
But some of its most highquality details, just as in the finest haute couture, are in places you may not notice.
Book-matched and sequenced cabinetry fronts: Customizing the veneer for the cabinetry and other sections (such as the buf buf-
fet and island), is one of the most painstaking parts of Karst’s process. He learned the ropes while working at the contract furniture company Knoll, where different furniture pieces are often made in different areas of the factory, so the wood grain must be carefully matched.
