Fluted Architectural Detailing on Kitchen Islands and Wall Paneling
Briefly

Fluting, a detailing style first seen in ancient Egyptian architecture, has made a significant return in contemporary design, particularly in interiors. With its ability to create beautiful textures and elegant interactions of light, fluting is now featured prominently in kitchens and furniture. Notably, designers Hélène Pinaud and Julien Schwartzmann of Heju Studio have showcased flutting designs in their projects, emphasizing its versatility in various materials like wood, stone, and plaster. Their work illustrates how fluting enhances the overall aesthetic, making spaces feel more sophisticated yet inviting.
Architectural columns ornamented with fluting have been around since Egyptian times, creating an elegant interplay of light and shadow in design.
Fluting made its way inside as high-style detailing on paneling and furniture, exemplified by the tapered legs on a Louis XVI table.
We particularly admire the use of fluting in the kitchen as a textural and skinnifying element, adding sophistication to the space.
In a Paris apartment, Heju Studio designed a kitchen island 'dressed in relief tiles', showcasing the versatility of fluted design.
