Shop the look: The Garden Kitchen
Spring is in the air, and we’re anticipating balmy evenings al fresco by taking a closer look at the materials and craftsmanship behind the Clive Christian garden kitchen.
Inspired by the style and engineering of classic yachts, the garden kitchen takes outdoor entertaining up a notch. A pair of bow-fronted islands invite guests on an oceangoing adventure, with mirrored, arcing stone worktops evoking the hull of a sailing boat. As captain of the bar and grill, you can be sure you’ll keep your guests completely catered for.

The Islands
CABINETRY: Royal Iroko cabinetry is inlaid with ebonised Iroko to recall the distinctive pinstriped deck of a yacht. This striking effect showcases Clive Christian Furniture’s expertise in marquetry. The hardwearing finish is further protected by a UV lacquer.
WORKTOPS: Made from Sensa Orinoco stone from Cosentino, the worktops are highly durable and resistant to moisture. The dark, marbled appearance complements the cabinetry and evokes the swirling depths of the ocean.
HANDLES: Both beautiful and functional, the door and drawer handles are made from actual deck cleats, composed of 316-grade nautical-spec polished stainless steel.
LEGS: Medical-grade stainless steel legs elevate the cabinetry from the damp ground below and allow access for cleaning.
The Details
GRILL: The ‘port’-side island is equipped with an outdoor grill from Sub-Zero Wolf made from nautical-grade polished steel to withstand the elements. A separate burner module can be used to warm up sauces and side dishes.
CHILLERS: The ‘starboard’-side island houses two chillers for wine and champagne. Sourced from Sub-zero Wolf, they have sleek stainless-steel fascias.
The Furniture
BAR STOOLS Each of the islands has space for four bar stools positioned around the edge, allowing guests to keep an eye on the action. These Gloster stools are made from Indonesian teak, which elegantly complements the cabinetry.
LOUNGE SEATING Also sourced from Gloster, comfortable wicker lounge seating is ideal for enjoying refreshments before or after the meal.
