Behold, foodie and design lovers..
Internationally acclaimed New Zealand kitchen designer Mal Corboy is breaking new ground with the launch of his stunning coffee table book, which showcases the best of his award-winning kitchen designs paired with recipes inspired by his work.
A passionate designer at the forefront of his profession, Mal Corboy is in demand around the world designing bespoke kitchens for clients from New Zealand to Australia to the USA and currently a complete home fit out in Trinidad and Tobago.
Corboy, who has honed his specialist set of skills and continually pushed boundaries to create challenging, dynamic kitchens, has teamed up with Simon Gault and his network of highly skilled chefs to marry exclusively created recipes with Corboy’s kitchen designs in an innovative new book, thought to be a world first.
“I designed and built a kitchen for Simon Gault and when we were developing the concept for the book we thought it would be an incredible addition to have a recipe from Simon to sit alongside his kitchen”, says Corboy.
“Simon was so keen he then invited chefs from the likes of Fish, Jervois Road Steakhouse, Pravda and Shed 5 to be inspired by the kitchens and create recipes to sit beside the featured spaces; 11 of which are kitchens that have not been published or seen before”, says Corboy.
A designer with a raft of accolades and 37 design awards, Mal Corboy creates not only the beautiful and well designed but the functional. As a specialist he knows exactly how the space should be laid out to suit the person using it and ensure it is more than aesthetically pleasing.
“For Kiwis, the kitchen is the heart and soul of the house, it’s where we congregate, entertain and relax, so for me it’s the extra knowledge I bring for products, rules and regulations that make the kitchens a functional space my clients can be truly proud of”, says Corboy.
Corboy has been designing for over 19 years and credits his success to his passion and consistency of work as well as his wonderful clients, who allow him the freedom to push boundaries of design and create the next statement piece.
Known for his innovative use of colour and lighting, Corboy’s kitchens are in of themselves, works of art, with more than 80 hours of concept design work going into each custom kitchen and due to the complexity of design and custom-built elements some are more than three years duration from concept to finished installation.
A celebration of Corboy’s work, the book is also testament to the quality and skilled craftsmanship in New Zealand, as with all Corboy’s projects, where possible everything is built and sourced in New Zealand.
A tome of kitchen porn to delight lovers of design, food and simply beautiful spaces, ‘Mal Corboy Kitchens’ stands at 270 pages and is printed on a beautiful glossy stock.
Published in both New Zealand and Australia, ‘Mal Corboy Kitchens’ retails at $60 and is available at selected bookstores including Cook The Books and Arcadia, and online at www.malcorboy.com
