Steal This Look: The Ultimate Outdoor Kitchen

June 10, 2014

I’m a skeptic when it comes to outdoor kitchens (who needs anything more than a grill and a set of tongs?). I’m revising my thinking, however, after spotting–and swooning over–the ultimate setup from the Netherlands.

From WWOO Outdoor Kitchens comes the perfect combination of stylish design and Dutch practicality. Composed of modular components, WWOO kitchens offer systems that range from barely-beyond-basic to well equipped. Add-ons include a pizza oven, a steel fireplace, and a stainless firebox. WWOO showrooms are located throughout the Netherlands, as well as in Paris, Stuttgart, Prague, and newly stateside in California.

Here we’ve deconstructed some of the key elements of the WWOO outdoor kitchen for those with a DIY spirit.

The designer behind WWOO Kitchens is Piet Jan van den Kommer, who feels that many of the outdoor kitchens on the market are expensive, poorly designed, and require a lot of maintenance. His kitchen system is built for endurance. Photograph by Matthew Williams from Gardenista: The Definitive Guide to Stylish Outdoor Spaces.

WWOO Kitchens are made of durable concrete requiring next to no maintenance. The concrete components are available in gray (shown) or darker anthracite. Photograph by Matthew Williams from Gardenista: The Definitive Guide to Stylish Outdoor Spaces.

The WWOO accessories range from wood storage boxes to cutting boards and Green Egg ceramic grills. Photograph by Matthew Williams from Gardenista: The Definitive Guide to Stylish Outdoor Spaces.
