Five kitchen islands with sleek waterfall edges
A waterfall edge is a design element for a kitchen island or cabinet where the countertop appears to flow effortlessly to the floor.
The element, also known as a mitred end, is common in modern kitchens since it is a simple method to make a focal point while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance.
They are especially powerful when built of materials like marble and concrete, which result in sculptural, monolithic centerpieces, as this lookbook demonstrates.

This kitchen island was created by Agnieszka Owsiany Studio using travertine covering a number of oak cabinets. The studio selected the stone because of its calming and timeless properties. While the wood helps highlight the warm tones of the stone.
Furthermore, The studio’s founder, Agnieszka Owsiany, said, “I really wanted to create something timeless. Hence the idea to use materials such as wood and travertine which age beautifully and hopefully won’t be replaced within many years.”
