Design changes were inevitable. As Nik Ida Juliana Nik Mohamed, interior designer and managing director of Ident-3, stood in the newly framed dry kitchen of a Selangor suburban home she was working on, she knew she had to do something drastic and ask the homeowners to simply trust her.

“We created a kitchen island that was a work of sculptural art like no other. The material for the island, a single piece of quartzite marble adorned with a beautiful pattern, was angled in a unique way and placed below ripple-effect oval-shaped ceiling motifs to greet guests as they entered the kitchen. The tension between the two elements was so strong that we placed a subtle set of crystal ball pendants that made the island a statement piece on its own.
