The modern kitchen is sleek, sexy, and sophisticated, with minimal clutter. Reflective surfaces and high-tech materials are essential in today's kitchen, and exotic woods add a touch of luxury without the use of frills or fabric. Iconic midcentury seating, such as Bertoia stools and chairs by Eames and Cherner, is frequently chosen for a classically modern look; Lucite and highly polished wood seating is frequently chosen for a more contemporary interpretation of the style.
