Colour & character

A little
out of line.

Our little kitchen borrows its shape from a 1950s cooker. We’re borrowing something from risograph printing too: the patience to make it slowly, carefully, one layer at a time.

A note from Edmond

There’s more
in the making.

I’m Edmond, Bonza Play’s designer and maker, and a dad of three. I’m showing the working before there’s a finished thing to show. The Little Range is still taking shape, so these pages will grow with it. If there’s something you want to know, send me a note. I’m always happy to talk kitchens.
