Birch plywood from the Plytech Futura range was the product of choice for the designers of a kitchen upgrade project in Waikehe, New Zealand. Featuring a hardwearing laminate facing and striking birch ply edge detail, Plytech Futura was used to modernise the kitchen, while still preserving some of its classic 1970s appeal.
The owners of this Waiheke home sought to modernise their kitchen without losing the appeal of its 1970s style. Designer Evan Schwarz from Shoreditch Furniture was engaged for the renovation that would give the kitchen a more contemporary feel, while adding a large pantry, breakfast bar leaner, additional cabinetry and display areas for the clients’ favourite pieces of art. Timber touches, sliding doors and the use of the bold orange colour from the original kitchen were some of the important elements that needed to be preserved for the 1970s flair.
