This line is fully bespoke, developed around the specific design vision of each client rather than a predefined style or system. Cabinet fronts, materials, hardware, wood species, grain orientation, and construction methods are selected project-by-project, allowing complete flexibility in both aesthetic expression and technical resolution. The result is a highly tailored kitchen where every detail—from joinery and finishes to hardware and proportions—is designed and fabricated to suit the unique character of the space.

We met in 2012, at a one of those vacant commercial storefronts converted into an apartment - the kind of place that attracted people who valued open space with few rules. Where kitchens and bathrooms could be build without permission and to our liking.
Over the years we kept finding ourselves in the same worlds—woodworking shops, architecture studios, gallery exhibitions and construction sites. Between us we had built careers across furniture making, architecture, interior design, and real estate development. What we shared most was a curiosity about how things are made, and why certain spaces simply feel better than others. Why some luxury projects fall short and others demand the attention of an entire creative industry.
​
These conversations kept returning to one room in particular: the kitchen.
​
We had both spent years working in and around kitchens from different perspectives and scales - custom fabrication, interior design, and real estate development. Again and again we saw the same problem: even in highly resourced projects, kitchens were often the weakest part— the kitchen did not get the care it deserved because the owner, architect or builder simply did not have time time, resources or prowess to take on all the design questions a great kitchen demands.
​
In 2023 those conversations became a real project when we completed our first kitchen together. It brought together many of the ideas we had been discussing for years: the precision of furniture making, the spatial thinking in a complex floorpan, and the everyday practicality a working kitchen demands.
That project became the beginning of ZOLLO LOHRY.
​
Today we design kitchens that balance craft, technology, and experience. We work with durable materials, thoughtful proportions, and construction methods that favor longevity over novelty. Some projects are simple and restrained; others require complex fabrication or unusual materials. Each kitchen is approached as a unique room within a larger home rather than a catalog product.
​
What guides our work is not a particular style but a set of instincts: honesty in materials, careful detailing, and a belief that kitchens should feel calm, useful, and lived-in rather than overly designed. We reject quick solutions, trend-driven aesthetics, and the flattening effect of mass design culture—the Pinterest sameness and AI-generated slop. Instead, each kitchen is approached as a specific instance of a physical, completely unique place, shaped by the architecture of the home, the habits of the client, and the quiet complexity of daily life.
