Et Lorem has unveiled a refined, climate-friendly German kitchen by Rotpunkt as part of a full kitchen-living redesign for a contemporary barn conversion in Bledlow, Buckinghamshire. Created in close collaboration with homeowner and interior designer Jade Glynn, founder of Willow Home Design, the scheme aims to deliver a relaxed yet elevated open-plan living space suited to modern family life.

Seeking a clean, characterful interior that complements the rural architecture, Et Lorem approached the kitchen, dining and living areas as one continuous environment. The design centres on high-quality raw materials, ergonomic planning and Rotpunkt's latest product innovations to encourage human connection and a sense of spaciousness.
At the heart of the scheme is Rotpunkt's contemporary Ergo LX furniture in Matt White Lacquer, used across tall cabinets, pantry doors and island drawers, paired with Tempo SY cabinetry in Bardolia Real Oak for base units, end panels and shelving. A hidden walk-in pantry, accessed through Rotpunkt's reverse-opening Ergo doors, provides discreet galley-style storage. Jade notes, "The furniture I chose by Rotpunkt creates a captivating centrepiece throughout my kitchen living space, which is high in character and unique by design. Plus, having lived with my Rotpunkt kitchen for some time now, its usability is also great with a layout and workflow that effortlessly serves my needs."
Warm timber detailing, white framed doors and Hendel & Hendel dark brushed brass handles achieve a lived-in, inviting feel. A monolithic island, constructed at Rotpunkt's special 910mm height, features seating for four and sculptural marble-effect worktops. Jade explains, "The 5-metre kitchen island, which steps down at either end is a great feature, as it helps to define the seating area with a dramatic waterfall worktop for added sense of grandeur. Another favourite is the angled worktop detail on the dining side of the island, which naturally draws the eye down to a beautiful bronze panel that is custom matched to reflect the design of my front door."

A Lacanche range cooker sits within a dedicated culinary zone accented by a custom Dekton-clad hood and open shelving. Jade highlights, "One of the standout triumphs for me is the cooker hood, taking a purely functional component in a kitchen and elevating it to a notable statement piece, the custom hood flawlessly blends form and function without compromising performance."
Reflecting on the project, Jade adds, "Having partnered with the exceptional team at Et Lorem on numerous residential projects, I knew their creative expertise would be invaluable when it came time to reimagining my own home… The result is a kitchen-living space that embodies ergonomic design, timeless style, and a tailored approach, a space that reflects my personal aesthetic while enhancing the way I live each day."
