Thinking of updating your kitchen? For the price of a whole house, you can have the world’s most expensive kitchen – the Colosseo Oro – priced at a staggering £300,000.
London-based kitchen designer Marazzi Design unveiled its colossally-priced Colosseo Oro kitchen at a design trade show over the weekend in London.
Only 10 of the limited-edition model will be produced, according to The Guardian.
And what do you get for your money with a price tag of £300,000? The kitchen reportedly comes with “ultra-luxurious finishes”, which include “24 carat gold leafing, crocodile embossed leather, metallic gloss Sub-Zero & Wolf appliances, and Venetian ink-stained gold glass”.
The cabinetry and surfaces have also been finished with 12 coats of clear lacquer “applied by hand and finished with glitter to create a unique design statement”. As a finishing touch, Swarovski crystal lights “complete the effect”.
The appliances alone cost a whopping £55,000. The “mirrored steel max-fired” oven hood costs £8,000, while the Zaha Hadid-designed tap costs £6,000.
But who can afford such a ridiculously pricey kitchen? “The target market is confident social food lovers in the top end of the market who like to entertain and make a statement,” said the designer’s representative.
Designer Paul Marazzi said a kitchen’s value can’t be weighed solely by its price, though.
“I feel a kitchen should have a soul and presence, transforming the room into an emotional experience, a celebration of family life and convivial living, transcending the kitchen into the heart and soul of the home,” he said.
If you’re paying £300,000 for the “heart and soul of the home” though, you might want to keep the kids out!
