In a large and new cliffside New Zealand home, Fyfe Kitchens were tasked with designing an impressive open-plan kitchen that complemented the dining, living, and outdoor entertainment areas. The busy family of four needed a space to cook and eat in, and as keen entertainers, to host dinners and parties in. With a Hollywood glam aesthetic also part of the brief, Fyfe designer Kira Gray selected Sensa’s Sant Angelo for the benchtops and splashbacks.

“Sensa was chosen for its natural properties, the feel of it, and the visual impact it has,” explains Gray, who was inspired by the home’s opulent sea views and nearby cliffs. Sant Angelo, with its impressive grey veins and refined and smooth finish also gave the space high-end impact. “The movement in the pattern is reminiscent of land and sea formations and works perfectly with the location and style of the kitchen. The granite surfaces are undoubtedly the showpiece of the room.”

Sant Angelo also makes an appearance in the glamorous bar area between the kitchen and living room and the scullery, a space that is open to the main kitchen area. The benchtops are paired with dark-stained oak cabinetry, brass handles and pulls, taps, and a sleek minimalist light fitting, and sumptuous velvet chairs placed around the granite waterfall island. Splashbacks lit with recessed strip lighting showcase the patterning of Sant Angelo and contribute to the luxurious and sultry decor.

Sensa Sant Angelo is a beautifully textured natural Indian Granite. It has been pretreated with Cosentino’s Senguard protective treatment, giving the natural surface high resistance to stains, high durability and strength. With a 15-year, certified warranty, Sensa natural stone is perfect for all sorts of interior surfaces.
