Kitchen Island Posts
The Kitchen Island Post is a product of years of history, culinary culture, and architectural artistry. Originally, the kitchen was a place solely for the preparation and creation of foodstuffs. In smaller homes the kitchen could be composed of simply a stove as where in larger houses this space was separated entirely, sometimes even by underground corridors, from the dining area. The picture we see today is far different and the Island Post, which historically is an oversized table leg, now plays a dramatic role in the design and creation of modern day kitchens.
As culinary selection increased and cooking technology advanced the market for kitchens boomed! Soon the smaller kitchen became less than desirable and the need for space both to house and use kitchen utilities became necessary. As any architect or designer would know the answer is never as simple as more space, the consumer wants elegance, beauty, functionality, and quality. From these needs stemmed the creation of a taller table like structure sized intentionally for the cooking and preparing that would be done standing.
Finding other methods outside of using a standard table was initially a challenge. Eventually simple tables turned into stationary islands designed and stained to match the style of both the surrounding kitchen and decor throughout the house. As styles increased and morphed, the need for quality and elegant Kitchen Island Posts grew. Soon the Kitchen Island was no longer intended for the wealthy alone, but became a trait desired in the common and standard kitchen. Cost effective options to copy the style of your dining table leg, wide selections for matching wood species, and even hand carved patterns are just a few of the options consumers are looking for.
