Must-Haves All Dream Kitchens Need in 2024.

“Nothing excites us more than a good kitchen. Our favourites are inspiring spaces where function meets beauty. It could be the simple aesthetic of a black pot-filler (see the fifth example on the list), or a marble backsplash that stops you in its tracks (example nine). Maybe it’s statement lighting or a walk-in pantry. The rooms in this roundup pack so much, while still managing to feel seamless and effortless. Happy browsing!”

How to Design Beautiful Built-Ins: Marcus, along with our friends at Woodwork & Co, were asked to contribute to a column all about the inclusion of millwork in projects.

“Randall Papineau of Toronto’s Woodwork & Co. frequently works with designer Marcus Iafrate of Conik Studios to create built-ins for custom homes and commercial properties. We asked them for tips on how to work with a designer and cabinetmaker to create great built-ins.”

Having our work published in a national magazine is a HUGE “pinch me” moment for us and we are so grateful and honored.  “The sophistication of Marcus Iafrate’s work (“Into the Woods,” page 58) resulted in a modern space with soul – I love how we find out at the end of the article that the construction materials are nontoxic.”
