To celebrate the resurgence of local makers and artisans, AyA Kitchens’ luxury brand AVANI proudly launched CARVE envisioned by one of Canada’s top design innovators: Siamak Hariri of Hariri Pontarini Architects (HPA). Unveiled for the first time at the 2015 Interior Design Show (January 22-25, 2015) guests experienced the one-of-a-kind kitchen that took home gold for its winning booth design. In the ultimate combination of handmade meets high-tech, CARVE combines sleek matte white cabinetry and smooth lines with deeply carved warm wood using a unique, proprietary process developed by AVANI and is complemented with bespoke hand-crafted Finishes.
AVANI worked with award-winning HPA to create a kitchen that captures the essentials of light, form, space, material, and atmosphere. To execute Hariri’s forward thinking vision, AVANI partnered with local makers Scott Eunson and Lubo Brezina to provide the intricate handmade wood elements complimenting the luxe and refined kitchen. “We strongly believe that design invention and well-crafted form arise by paying attention to details, from the moment of design conception through the entire process of construction,” said David Marcus, President, AyA Kitchens. “Understanding this vision, Hariri Pontarini Architects brought the idea of customization and uniqueness that is the AVANI brand to life.”
