Shaker & May
Our approach to design

It begins with you.
Not a collection.

Your space, your ideas and the way you live are the starting point for every kitchen we design.

We explore your needs and tastes, taking inspiration from your home’s architecture. Symmetry, proportion and simplicity guide us towards a kitchen that feels at home—and works beautifully for you.

Meet the people behind the design
Considered proportions. Personal details. A kitchen designed for its surroundings.
A conversation, not a prescription

Good design starts
with listening.

Be as involved as you would like to be.

We work openly and collaboratively, translating our conversations into design concepts and mood boards. Materials, proportions and practical details are considered together, so the finished kitchen is as functional as it is beautifully crafted.

The people you’ll work with

Different experience.
A shared eye for detail.

Design knowledge, making experience and personal guidance, brought together around your project.
