When Sergio and Suzanne Feld decided to finally renovate the dark, cramped kitchen in their 1905 apartment, they immediately knew their inspiration: San Franciso's Universal Café. ("It was clean and light, with almost a laboratory feeling—but not at all stark.") The redesigned kitchen is exactly like that: modern yet warm, with a few very interesting industrial touches.
Previewed in a 2004 issue of Dwell magazine, highlights of the space include laboratory faucets and lab glass pendant lamps, fir floors, a fireclay farm sink made in England, a suspended rolling blackboard to conceal the water heater, and my favorite, "a triptych of steel-framed cabinets with sliding textured-glass panels [that reveal] objects on open walnut shelves while screening clutter."

Not too keen on the fact that it looks like when cooking on the stove, it would heat the shelves above.
Gotta agree with @missfifi with the shelf right above the stove but dang... this is one gorgeous kitchen.
This kitchen is really amazing.
@MISSFIFI - I agree. When we re-did our kitchen, the one mistake we made was putting in an accessory shelf/built-in right over the stove. It would have been fine but at the last minute, we had to change stoves (the one we'd bought was literally the last of that model we could get our hands on and the delivery people dropped it in the middle of our street.) So when we put our new stove in, we had problems immediately with heat reaching the bottom of the two shelves. I'd intended to store spices on that shelf, but now it's truly an accessory shelf with some pitchers and occasional heat-tolerant flowers. Sigh.
Live and learn, at least it LOOKS pretty. :)
Those sliding panels are screaming for artwork.
