SozoStudio

Space Craft: The brief for the Space kitchen line was simple: address as many problems with traditional kitchens as possible. Make it flexible, so that there are no set cabinet sizes. Use materials and labor wisely. Make its design timeless, but not dull. Allow architects, designers and homeowners to use its kit of parts to create their own vision of what a kitchen should be. Make it fresh.
