By attitude we mean our point of view, our way of thinking about and looking at things. We confess to being more than a little obsessed with creating kitchens with certain qualities. These are hard to define but include:

respect for the place;

the look and feel of wood, stone, paint, metal, and how they work together;

paying attention to the functional qualities of materials and structures;

an intense focus on details and how they fit into the overall scheme;

the contribution of workmanship to the appeal and endurance of things;

the practical efficiency of the layout and the components within it;

Operating from a London base and working throughout the UK, at Closer we believe that good design and precisely made handcrafted products define luxury when paired with the right materials. We individually select and source the highest quality materials such as marble, oak, walnut, and hardware for each unique project. We favour the use of elemental or natural materials but not in a dogmatic way. We keep an eye open for innovative techniques or materials which make possible something new.

A Closer kitchen is built to last as long as you want it to, potentially as long as the house. We aren’t wedded to any specific period or style but aim to set the kitchen within the context of the property whether in contrast to existing features or in harmony with them.

We make these kitchens to bring everyday joy to people with soul.
