A Bar-Style Kitchen for Enjoying Drinks | Construction Project at the Home of Mr. and Mrs. Aky

A Project Where the Warmth of Wood and the Glow of Brass Harmonize

CTSH LIGHT. pendant lights were selected for the kitchen and toilet.

The kitchen features the "Wood×CIRCLE Solid Wood E17".
The toilet features the "CIRCLE Blasted Brass E17".

In a home where the warmth of the wooden ceiling, beams, and counters makes a striking impression, the small brass lights blend in softly.

The kitchen has been arranged as a space where you can relax like a bar counter.
A shelf lined with favorite drinks, a wooden counter, and the warm glow of incandescent bulbs come together to create a slightly special time in everyday life.

This project showcases the akymk6 residence, featuring an impressive multi-light arrangement at the kitchen counter and a corner accent in the toilet.

Brass Pendant Lights That Stand Out in a Wooden Space

What makes a striking impression in the photos is the texture of the wood.

The wood-paneled ceiling.
The exposed beams.
The wood grain of the kitchen counter.
The warmth of the wood used for the doors and storage.

The addition of brass pendant lights creates a soft sense of unity throughout the space.

Brass is a material that, despite being metal, does not feel overly cold.
When paired with a wooden space, it adds a slightly refined touch while retaining a natural warmth.

At the akymk6 residence, wood and brass connect seamlessly, creating a touch of elegance within a calm atmosphere.


Three Pendant Lights Lined Up Along the Kitchen Counter

Three "Wood×CIRCLE Solid Wood E17" pendant lights are arranged in a row in the kitchen.

Arranging the pendant lights along the counter creates a sense of rhythm in the space.

Black cords extending straight down from the ceiling.
Small light fixtures hanging at the end.
The warm incandescent light falling onto the counter.

By arranging the three lights at equal intervals, the long horizontal line of the kitchen counter appears even more beautiful.

Rather than illuminating the area broadly with a single light, multiple small lights are placed.
This light arrangement pairs perfectly with the wooden counter and calm wall color.


The Connection of Materials Created by Wood×CIRCLE

The "Wood×CIRCLE Solid Wood E17" selected for the kitchen is a pendant light that combines the texture of wood with a round form.

When paired with a wooden space, it does not look out of place; instead, it naturally connects with the furniture and fixtures.

In a home like this one, where the wooden counter, ceiling, and beams make a striking impression, incorporating wooden elements into the lighting creates a sense of unity throughout the space.

At the same time, the addition of black cords and metal parts prevents the space from becoming overly soft, creating a nicely balanced and refined impression.

The warmth of wood.
The refined quality of brass.
The thin lines of the black cords.
The warm light of the incandescent bulbs.

Each element blends naturally into the atmosphere of the kitchen.

A Bar-Counter-Style Kitchen for Enjoying Drinks

What makes a striking impression in the akymk6 residence kitchen is the row of drink bottles along the counter.

The homeowners love alcohol and have arranged the kitchen area as a space that can be enjoyed like a bar counter.

Chairs are lined up at the wooden counter, with a shelf lined with favorite drinks at the far end.
The warm incandescent pendant lights illuminate the area, creating a calm, bar-like atmosphere throughout the kitchen.

It is a place for cooking, but at night, it also becomes a place to enjoy drinks.
A slightly special counter space where you can spend time chatting with family and friends.

The small light of the "Wood×CIRCLE Solid Wood E17" casts a soft glow on the counter while highlighting the texture of the wood and the appearance of the drink bottles.

Rather than illuminating the area brightly and evenly, small lights are placed where they are needed.
This lighting style pairs perfectly with the bar-counter-style kitchen.

Lighting That Makes Counter Time Pleasant

The kitchen counter is a place for cooking, but also a place to enjoy meals and conversation.

In the photos of the akymk6 residence, chairs are lined up in front of the counter, creating an atmosphere where you can sit and relax.

The warm light of the pendant lights falling on the counter makes it a space that is suitable not only for working but also for relaxing.

During the day, it serves as lighting that highlights the textures of wood and brass.
At night, it casts a soft glow on the counter.

The three pendant lights create a pleasant rhythm and calm atmosphere around the kitchen.


Two CIRCLE Blasted Brass Lights in the Toilet

Two "CIRCLE Blasted Brass E17" lights were selected for the toilet.

By arranging two pendant lights along the wall, a small rhythm of light is created in the space.

The toilet is a limited space within the home.
Therefore, a single light can greatly change the impression.

In this project, rather than placing a large light in the center, it was hung closer to the wall, creating a calm atmosphere.

Light spreading across the wall.
Shadows falling on the wooden shelf.
The small presence of brass.

A quiet accent is created in the toilet.

Pendant Lights as a Corner Accent

At CTSH LIGHT., when incorporating pendant lights into a toilet, we recommend arranging them as a corner accent.

While ensuring the overall brightness of the toilet, place small lights along the wall or in the far corner.
This creates depth and calm in the space.

At the akymk6 residence, two pendant lights were placed at the far end of the toilet, spreading a soft light around the wall and shelf.

Rather than simply hanging a light in the center of the room, light is placed to make use of the empty space on the wall.
This arrangement makes the toilet not just a functional space, but a small space where you can enjoy the textures of the materials.


The Calm Texture Created by Blasted Brass Finish

The CIRCLE selected for the toilet is the blasted brass finish model.

While retaining the warmth of brass, the surface finish creates a slightly calmer impression.

Rather than brass that shines brightly, it has a texture that softly receives light.
Therefore, it is easy to incorporate into a small space like a toilet without becoming overly flashy.

It pairs well with wooden shelves and pale wall colors, adding a quiet sense of refinement to the space.

Because the light fixture is small, the finish of the material leaves a lasting impression.


Using Different Expressions of Brass in the Kitchen and Toilet

In this project, different pendant lights were selected for the kitchen and toilet.

For the kitchen, the "Wood×CIRCLE Solid Wood E17," which harmonizes with the texture of wood.
For the toilet, the "CIRCLE Blasted Brass E17," with its appealing calm metallic feel.

Even in the same home, the role of lighting changes depending on the location.

In the kitchen, lighting that creates rhythm along the counter.
In the toilet, lighting that creates calm and shadow in the corner.

Rather than matching all products, choosing them according to the purpose and atmosphere of each space creates a natural sense of unity throughout the home.


Enjoying Materials by Day and Light by Night

During the day, the wooden ceiling, counter, and the brass fixtures themselves become accents in the space.

Even when not lit, the black cords and brass texture of the pendant lights blend quietly into the space as part of the interior.

At night, the warm light of the incandescent bulbs illuminates, changing the expression of the space.

In the kitchen, a soft light falls on the counter.
The drink bottles and wooden counter look slightly special in the warm light.
In the toilet, a small pool of light forms along the wall.

Even with the same lighting, its role changes between day and night.
Being able to enjoy that change is also part of the charm of pendant lights.

The wooden ceiling.
The exposed beams.
The kitchen counter.
The bar-counter-style space lined with drinks.
