The Fantales Kitchen by YSG Studio for Laminex.

In their latest collaboration with the Australian design community, Laminex engaged Yasmine Saleh Ghoniem of YSG Studio to bring her design prowess and creativity to the Laminex brand.

Within her designs for Laminex, Yasmine strived to create blissful, inviting spaces, claiming, “I wanted to capture the essence of ‘afternoon delight’, that warm, cozy time of day when the sun filters into the home and there’s nowhere else that you’d rather be because the world seems to stop in that golden moment.”

Renowned for their unexpected use of colour, YSG Studio created what’s affectionately known as ‘The Fantales Kitchen’, and a living area slated to be unveiled early next year. YSG Studio used finishes from Laminex’s new Colour Collection inspired by the rich hues of nature to create a vibrant and warm spaces.

Featuring shades of terracotta, (Moroccan Clay), deep purples (Kalamata), subtly washed pinks (Porcelain Blush), full-bodied orange (Burnt Ochre) and aged timber (Danish Walnut), YSG has injected their signature flair into the design, whilst maintaining a versatile and neutral base tone.

The design focuses on three key components — colour-fields, framing devices and texture. On conceptualising the colour palette for the kitchen, Yasmine says, “I tried to imagine what it’d feel like being dipped into a pot of sweet, warm caramel. There’s something so luscious about the deeper block colours including Moroccan Clay and Burnt Ochre that distinguish the L-shaped kitchen bench joinery, defining the primary work focus. Elevated above a platform of mosaic tiles, it has a levitational quality befitting the desired dreamy state I wanted to achieve. The floating pantry cupboard features a rich Moroccan Clay internal Laminex shade plus blue/grey Fresh Spring shelves for a stimulating surprise of colour when opened.”
