Stunning handmade hardwood kitchens, custom designed for you 3 Treske s outstanding, innovative kitchens cannot be seen on the high street because every order is custom made and we do not supply retailers. So, in the following pages, with the kind consent of some of our customers, (thank you all) we invite you into their homes to see why they chose Treske kitchens. Treske is the kitchen maker of choice for anyone who appreciates contemporary yet timeless design and fine craftsmanship. We are a byword for professionalism and good customer relations, with delighted clients throughout the British Isles. We are proud that over 60% of commissions come from previous customers or their recommendations to their friends. Our customers know that we positively encourage effective communication at all stages of the planning, design, installation and finishing process. Every aspect of the process of design is customer-led and installation is carried out only by Treske craftsmen. We warmly welcome visitors to our factory showrooms in an historic Victorian maltings building. There you can see and touch the solid hardwoods and beautiful veneers our skilled craftsmen and women use. Eye catching displays of furniture for every room and constantly updated examples of kitchen designs fitted with gorgeous worktops and top of the range appliances, will make your visit a pleasure. The British hardwoods we use at Treske come from sustainable forests where new trees are planted to re-stock areas that are felled. Most of the other timbers used are Forestry Stewardship Council certified and we are working towards 100% FSC certification. We are a holder of the Manufacturing Guild Mark from the Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers, awarded for excellence in British Furniture Manufacturing and are supporters of the charity Woodland Heritage.

4 Contemporary Shaker Kitchen Oak and painted kitchen with traditionally framed Shaker doors
A special contemporary Treske kitchen with a careful mix of traditional oak panelled doors with those painted in a Farrow and Ball white. A stylish split-level island, one end granite topped with curved drawers below, the other higher level with a solid oak top for the family breakfast bar. Reflective plinths on the island combine practicality with a freestanding look, while the breakfast bar support doubles as tray storage. Beautiful and cool Indian pearl granite worktops are used throughout the kitchen and are fitted into the window recesses. Miele appliances, including warming drawers, coffee machine and combi-ovens, are arranged in a convenient group. Behind the induction hob and under a Miele extractor, a Silestone marble splashback has been fitted to create an easy to maintain finish. The kitchen also has a desk dresser design housing a discreet home office and workstation. Managing the installation of the kitchen involved coordinating with tiling and under floor heating installers, the removal of a old brick mantle, as well as other key trades. 5 Contemporary Shaker Kitchen 01845 522770 www.treskekitchens.co.uk
6 Shaker Oak & Painted Kitchen Painted and oak Shaker style doors and Kashmir white granite
A beautifully simple and stylish fitted kitchen, designed in a Shaker style, painted in a light Farrow and Ball cream. 7 In this example we made special features of the mantle, quadrant posts, plinths and cornice through the use of solid pippy oak. The granite work surfaces were Kashmir white with the set-in Belfast sink looking out over the garden. This bespoke kitchen design is set off through the bold use of a custom designed splashback behind the Falcon range cooker. An American fridge freezer was fitted into a short run of larder wall cabinets and other appliances are integrated within the ample storage of the kitchen. Every element of this kitchen design can be tailored to you, from the shade of paint to the island design, cupboard and storage solutions and appliances.

8 Classically framed bespoke Shaker style doors and granite work surfaces Shaker Painted Kitchen
In an old farmhouse the existing kitchen was considered too small, so to replace it, this new spacious painted kitchen was created in the converted former double garage. The main focal point was to be the superbly practical Falcon range cooker around which was built an imposing overmantle. 9 The owners much loved AGA fridge takes centre stage in a capacious larder unit, which contains easily accessible handmade racks, drawers and even a granite cold shelf. This is a supremely practical kitchen with special granite work surfaces and upstands flowing seamlessly into the window embrasures, while its beauty lies in the attention to detail, clean crisp lines and superb finish. A Treske farmhouse table and comfortable stickback chairs complete the light, airy and welcoming mood of this understated but aspirational kitchen.

10 Arts & Crafts Painted Kitchen Classically hand painted, simple and practical, with beauty in the detail
In a traditional rectory Treske was asked to design, make and fit an elegant and spacious painted kitchen in an Arts and Crafts style. 11 The design and fit timescale was carefully managed with the customer to ensure work fitted with other required trades and everybody completed their work on schedule. The Belfast double ceramic sink is positioned to look over the garden and is adjacent to the integrated washing up machine and fridge. Behind this window run of classical cabinets is an island that doubles as a breakfast bar with plenty of accessible cupboard and pan drawer storage that also includes a Liebherr wine cooler. Behind the island is the four-oven AGA, framed by a simple elegant mantle. On either side of the AGA two built-in traditional cupboards provide further practical storage for breakfast and cooking essentials. The kitchen was painted in two shades of deep grey, the darker on the island, giving a stunning finish to an exceptionally well planned, designed and fitted kitchen.

12 Traditional Oak & Painted Kitchen Burr oak and painted doors, all traditionally framed
This beautiful and practical kitchen was designed for a new extension sun room with a central ceiling lantern. Spacious and contemporary with a comfortable feel it also sits well with the owner s period house. A large central island placed exactly below the lantern, accommodates many appliances and the Belfast sink. The lightness of the kitchen was further enhanced with a travertine floor. A flush fitting induction hob sits opposite the AGA in the island top, the flush fit allowing the working surface to be uninterrupted and usable. Around the cream, four oven AGA is a substantial bold pippy oak corbelled over mantle that incorporates bespoke storage cupboards. A preparatory sink to the right side of the AGA, and a wine rack finish the run. The positioning of the handmade bespoke mantle and island give the kitchen a focal point, balance and symmetry. 13 Traditional Oak & Painted Kitchen
14 Arts & Crafts Oak Kitchen Oak Arts & Crafts doors in traditionally beaded frames, walnut and Corian work surfaces
Late Victorian Arts and Crafts furniture designers emphasised handmade craftsmanship, solid wood and clean, simple lines, which is very much Treske s credo today. 15 In this new townhouse the lines of the oak woodwork subtly reflect the Arts and Crafts aesthetic, noticeably in the slight off-vertical batter on the panels around the central pillar and the tapering corner supports. Walnut was used for the centre island and for the cornice which was scribed to the ceiling. Bespoke Corian work surfaces moulded into wall splashbacks, the 420 electric AGA, large fridge freezer and sleek steel handles are utterly contemporary yet complementary. The Arts and Crafts movement laid emphasis on aesthetically unified interiors. Our client chose a handmade table and chairs from our Yorkshire designed V&A range, first seen at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in 2004 during the exhibition International Arts and Crafts.

16 Oak Arts & Crafts doors in classic beaded frames, with African black granite V&A Oak Kitchen
Innovation in kitchen design is increasingly style-led. The Arts and Crafts movement which began in the 1880s and was pioneered in Britain by William Morris, had a lasting influence on design. The influence is seen in the handmade kitchen designs of Treske. Victoria & Albert Museum s archive research provided inspiring source material for our design. The central motif of a tulip was developed from Lindsay Butterfield s block printed linen designs while other details were influenced by designers such as Mackintosh and Voysey. Our V&A kitchen can house innovative appliances such as a Miele induction wok alongside the latest AGA oven range, combining modern and traditional cooking techniques, while African black granite surfaces provide contrast and balance to the aesthetics of the room. The Treske V&A kitchen can be as individual and bespoke as you would like, be that purist or playful, in oak (as illustrated) or any of a wide range of woods, all from responsibly re-planted sources. 17 V&A Oak Kitchen 01845 522770 www.treskekitchens.co.uk
18 Modern Sycamore Kitchen Contemporary sycamore kitchen with walnut detail, glass splashbacks and plinth lighting
A minimalist, modern look using exquisitely matched hand-selected figured sycamore veneers, the design features inset walnut stringing detail to enhance the grace of the curved doors and echo the drawer proportions in this beautifully refined kitchen. 19 Made to the most exacting standards for a sophisticated client, African black granite work surfaces and upstands meet a bespoke fitted glass splashback, while LED plinth lighting and overhead and wall unit lighting present the entire kitchen in a clean, efficient light. Treske of Thirsk s Yorkshire designers, craftsmen and fitters are proud that every aspect of creating this contemporary kitchen in a traditional farmhouse fulfilled the client s highly specific brief. Its superb aesthetic and function was completed by a range of Siemens appliances. Modern Sycamore Kitchen 01845 522770 www.treskekitchens.co.uk
