"The floating part came about because we
have the work triangle on the backside
of the island with the stove,
refrigerator and in-island sink, and we
wanted to incorporate an eat-in family
space that's separate from the work area
but still a part of the action.
"The style of the kitchen lends itself to
the contemporary look of the floating
island, which features stainless steel
brackets and the sleek look of frosted
rice paper in its base panels. The
countertops at standard height are
Corian, and the raised part is a blue
CaesarStone that plays off of the
backsplash's glass mosaic. It's floating
because there's not a continuous
support, just the stainless brackets
that raise it up over countertop so they
overlap. It's almost shaped like a
comma, with a circular table area and
two types of lighting that play off of
the different parts of the island."
