Owner's Voice Vol.23 Residence of Mr. S

CASE STUDY 24.12.25 Wed

iNO" is like a "hand-wound wristwatch" that is so lovely that even the trouble is worth it.

Mr. and Mrs. S live in Nagoya and have a family of four with their two daughters, ages 6 and 3.
This year, they completely renovated their old house to a kitchen-centered layout.
Here we introduce the space that the wife, who loves to cook, chose and created with great care.

I've never seen such a cool kitchen!"

We decided to remodel because we wanted to create a children's room for our two daughters to grow up in," says the wife.
We decided to create a private room so that the gathering space would be more spacious.
The kitchen, which used to be wall-mounted, is now open-style, and she says that from the beginning she wanted the LDK to be open so that she could watch her children while she cooked.

What color? What materials? One day, as she was dreaming of her new home, an acquaintance told her, "Toyo Kitchen Style is cool.

That was my first encounter with Toyo Kitchen Style.
I was embarrassed to admit that I didn't even know the name of the company, so I wondered what it was like. I was embarrassed to admit that I had never heard of the name, so I looked at the website.

At the time, he was somewhat bewildered by the unique sparkling atmosphere, but he decided to visit the Nagoya showroom because he was curious about the uniqueness that no other company had.
At the time, his wife, who likes warm and elegant interiors, thought, "It looks nice, but I wonder if this taste is right for me. She was concerned, however, when she saw the "iNOW" showroom.

However, she says that her concerns were blown away when she took one look at iNO.

It wasn't a matter of whether the taste matched or didn't match," she says. I genuinely thought, 'I've never seen such a cool kitchen!

Functionality and beauty of "iNO" tickle the hearts of food lovers.

The reason why the wife fell in love with iNO was the size of the sink.

When cooking, it is difficult to work if the sink is narrow.
For example, if you put a bowl of vegetables and a pot in the sink and want to wash other vegetables, there is usually not enough space.
As someone who likes to cook, I have always longed for a kitchen with a large sink.
But I couldn't seem to find one.
So when I saw iNO's PARALLELO Sink, I thought it was ideal.

The great appeal of PARALLELO Sink is that it not only washes food in the sink, but also allows for cutting, mixing, and serving with ease using a cutting board and a multi-plate for draining water, thereby increasing cooking efficiency and realizing Zero flow.
In addition, if your wife enjoys baking, the spacious sink is also very useful for kneading dough.

The "iNO" is more functional than it looks, and it makes me want to use it.
And the design is much more beautiful than I had imagined.

The stylist at the showroom introduced them to a construction company that had a lot of experience using iNO, and they decided to build a house around iNO.

Metal Smoke, which combines wood grain and metallic texture, was selected for the surface material, while Ice was chosen for the top panel, making "iNO" the star of the space. The installation of a power outlet on the side is also a convenient point.

Connecting interiors with the light of crystal glass

After deciding on the kitchen, Mrs. Koyama says that she thought about how to create an interior (warm and elegant) to her liking while taking advantage of the appeal of the metallic texture of "iNO Metal Smoke.
The color of "Metal Smoke" would probably go well with cool, dark interiors in black, white, and silver, but I actually like gold, and I wanted to add a gold accent wall in the LDK," she says.
But I was quite worried about whether it would really fit the atmosphere of "Metal Smoke" (......).

For Mrs. Hasegawa, a breakthrough of sorts came in the form of a chandelier from Toyo Kitchen Style, the Klunker LED120.
I thought the orange light through the sparkling crystal glass would soften the coolness of iNO and harmonize with the accent wall.

To verify this, he brought the actual wallpaper to the showroom and spread it out next to the Klunker LED120 to check compatibility.
In the end, the stylist from Toyo Kitchen Style gave us a push and said, 'Klunker LED120 is fine.
It turned out to be a great decision!
Once we decided on the kitchen, lighting, and wallpaper, the rest of the interior planning went smoothly.

This is how the warm and elegant LDK was born.

I like it, so I want to use it with care and love.

It has only been a month since the renovation was completed and they have started living in their new home.
The "iNO" is still very easy to use," he said.
Cooking in the sink is something unique to Toyo Kitchen Style, but I had been thinking about iNO all the way up to the completion of the house, so I think I had a good "training" during that time, and I can work efficiently while moving the cutting board and faucet, I can work efficiently while moving the cutting board and faucet.

Sliding the cutting board and other utensils into the sink, which can be used from both sides at the same time, PARALLELO Sink seems to bring about a positive change in the way he spends time with his family.
My daughters and I have been baking cookies and cooking together for a long time, but this kitchen has two faucets, and we can work across from each other while moving the plates around.
My husband is now more involved in cleaning up.

Along with PARALLELO Sink, she also finds the extra-deep storage useful.

We stopped using double-sided drawers and instead used deep drawers, so we can put away all the large pots and pans.
The AEG grill plate, which is 55 cm wide, also fits neatly in the drawer, which is a nice touch.
I hope to use this grill plate to grill meat in the kitchen soon."
With the high smoke collection performance of the Range Hood "UFO", there is no problem with "home de teppan-yaki".

I want to keep this kitchen clean for years to come.
For me, this kitchen is like a hand-wound wristwatch that I love, even if it takes a lot of time and effort.

We could feel her love for her kitchen in these words.

［Profile]
Mrs. S
Mrs. S. implemented the renovation plan with the full trust of her husband. Her hobbies are eating delicious food and cooking. She says that since the house was renovated, she feels comfortable sitting in the living room with a cup of coffee and looking around the room. The other night, I turned off the lights in the room and turned on the "Planet" (the floor light by the Christmas tree) from Kartell. The light appeared on the ceiling like the surface of water! I was so impressed by the beauty of the light.
