NYC-based James Huniford is known for his work for high-end clients; we prefer his own simple kitchen in the Hamptons, featuring quirky antiques and reclaimed objects.
For Huniford, concrete countertops and earthenware pottery are a reflection of upstate New York, where he grew up admiring old stone quarries—even the kitchen trivets are stone slabs. We've highlighted the essential elements below.
