The island as the room's anchor.

Absolute Black granite holds a crisp edge better than almost any stone we cut, which is why it was specified here over a softer material. Leathered rather than polished, so the working surface doesn't show every fingerprint and water spot.

The pale perimeter stone does the quiet work; the black island does the talking.
