Just off London's Exmouth Market, on Rosebery Avenue, sits Morchella — a refined resto-wine bar that plates up a mouth-watering menu (with pairings to match). And while the edibles pique my interest, it's the quaint and rather clever cutlery drawers that slide out of dining tables that instantly inspire.
Especially for small apartment dining rooms that wish to preserve design at all costs, without relegating storage to an afterthought, this built-in concept is genius. Dating back to the French farmhouse style from the 1800s, this design finds a new home in contemporary renditions that fit modern dining vignettes.
