Daylight, a real kitchen and 80+ pieces of tableware — all in one place.

No styling tricks needed to make it look like a real kitchen — this is a real kitchen. Workbenches are mobile, the light falls softly from two sides, and you have direct access to equipment, herbs and tableware.

Why photographers like it

A set that builds with you — not against you.

Two movable stainless-steel workbenches you can position freely relative to the window light. A wide range of plates, bowls, glasses and cookbooks for styling. Power outlets where you need them. And a kitchen that doesn't look like a Pinterest home kitchen, but like a kitchen where actual cooking happens.

People on set? Plenty of room for camera, art direction, food stylist and client without tripping over each other.
