Base Shapes for Use with Tambour Panels
The Shape of Things to Come
Base Shapes for Use with Tambour Panels
Introducing new Base Shapes for Use with Tambour Panels. Our new Base Shapes were inspired by key findings from NKBA’s 2024 Kitchen Trends Report, including multi-functional islands designed for seating and gathering, incorporation of natural and organic materials, and geometric shapes reminiscent of Art Deco design styles.
Left to right: Rectangle Shape, Cylinder Shape, Angle Shape
Product Details: Angled and Rectangle base shapes are constructed with solid wood ends and solid MDF side panels. The Cylinder base shape is manufactured from multiple layers of heavyweight paperboard, with a similar density to MDF. The Cylinder shape includes end plugs with a hole to allow for additional support and electrical wiring. Each shape measures 34.5”H and features recessed panels for bevel, bead, cove and square style Tambour up to 1/4” thick for a flush fit. Shapes and Tambour are shipped unfinished, ready to stain or paint upon delivery. A template for cutting Tambour panels will be provided.

Brass Bistro Shelving
Elevate Your Designs
With Built-to-Order or Stock Bistro Shelving Units
Our Brass Bistro Shelving began when we noticed several trends merging together in the Kitchen; open shelving, metallic accents, and high-end custom design, to name a few.
There was a lack of supply and custom programs for Brass Bistro Shelving, and we knew we could offer custom solutions to fill in the gap. We tested dozens of components and finishes, adapting the program as we learned about the product. We traveled internationally and sought out partners who understood the need for high quality and durable materials with consistent specifications.
Available in 2 stock finishes and 8 custom finishes, our Bistro Shelving is truly one-of-a-kind.

Metallic Trim
Easy Elegance
Add the elegance of easy-to-install Metallic Trim.
Prada, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton name a few of the brands that inspired our Metallic Accent Trim. As we saw luxury store fixtures with stunning metallic accents, we were determined to bring the elegance of metal trim to kitchen, bath, and home.
While the concept of Metallic Accent Trim was easy to imagine, creating an affordable and easy-to-install component was a challenge. Having experience with anodized aluminum components, we knew the Metallic Accent Trim needed to match our existing metallic finishes. Utilizing our existing relationships, we took the concept to market with several styles and finishes of Metallic Trim that match our existing line of metal components.
Achieve Easy Elegance with our easy-to-install Metallic Trim. Choose from 8 bright & bold finishes and install using our double-sided UHB tape.
Custom lengths, profiles, & finishes available.
