Lagoon
Kitchen for QZENS Furniture
Lagoon is a kitchen design inspired by the dance of blue-green Aegean waves on pearl coral reefs and the mystical collision of waves merging with golden sand grains. It reflects the harmony of Greek temple architecture, mythology, and the bond of nature and light. Hellenistic carvings, bronze accents, and handcrafted cabinet doors with gold leaf and blue paint evoke a mythic aesthetic. Constructed from solid wood, lacquered finishes and Volakas marble, it integrates technologies like single-finger door systems, automated drawers, and adjustable lighting, blending tradition with modern comfort.

Production Technology
The island unit, with varying heights for different usage scenarios, is made from natural solid wood, white lacquered wood, and Volakas marble from Greece. The wooden sculptures and carvings in the Hellenistic style on the front of the countertop are produced using both Cnc and handcraft techniques. Lagoon features bronze legs and details, with glass-fronted cabinets. The countertop cabinets have doors treated with a special copper oxidation technique.
Design Challenge
Capturing the essence of Greek mythology and architecture in a functional kitchen space was a key challenge. Extensive research on classical structures and Hellenistic sculptures was necessary to achieve authenticity. Field studies in Aegean archaeological sites provided inspiration for proportions and ornamentation. The fusion of handcrafted details with modern technology required innovative approaches to balance historical accuracy with contemporary usability.
Project Duration
The project started in July 2022, during a trip to the ancient city of Ephesus. Concept research continued at archaeological sites in the Aegean region. Production was completed in November 2023 in Ankara.
Operation Flow
It ensures a seamless kitchen experience with integrated hidden handles, allowing doors to open from any point. The island unit’s varying heights facilitate different tasks, from meal prep to socializing. Independent cooking units elevate meal preparation into an art form. The lift up extractor hood rises from the countertop, offering an aesthetic experience without closing off space. Soft on lighting, Servotronic drawers, and automatic lifts enhance ease of use, blending function with design.
Research
The design process of Lagoon began with in-depth research on ancient Greek architecture and sculpture. Visits to archaeological sites along the Aegean coast, including the Temple of Apollo in Didim and the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus, provided valuable insights into classical proportions and decorative elements. Additionally, an extensive study of Greek sculptures helped shape the handcrafted details, ensuring a seamless blend of mythology, nature, and architectural heritage.
Inspiration
Lagoon is inspired by the dance of the blue-green waves of the Aegean Sea on the pearl coral reefs and the mystical collision where the waves merge with golden sand grains. It reflects the harmony of the classic architectural style of Greek temples, mythology and the bond of nature and light.
