The Ammonite is nothing short of a masterpiece of theatre, nevermind a functional kitchen island. It is a piece of art and furniture created to inspire the best of moments, for those who love shape, form, beautiful materials and unusual finishes.

The Ammonite from Rock & Bone is Charlie Smallbone and Damian Lawrance. Charlie, the founder of iconic kitchen brand Smallbone of Devizes – a world renowned designer – worked on some of the highest quality kitchens for the highest profile clientele and Damian, the founder of LaRock, a high end design and build specialist in the North of England have come together as two unique individuals, from two different backgrounds, and one shared vision for contemporary living and the finest craftsmanship and finishes.

You only have to look at the photos from Rock & Bone to appreciate how sublime and near perfection the Ammonite is.

As Smallbone customers may expect, the Rock & Bone signature collection, including the Ammonite and also other kitchen furniture such as a curved Lateral cupboard (see below) will be made to order and as with any Charlie Smallbone creation, you know it wont be cheap but with some things, if you have to ask, you cant afford it and lets face facts here, Smallbone customers and Rock & Bone customers are not ever likely to have ever set foot in a Bettaliving showroom anymore than a Bettaliving customer has one of their kitchens in a property worth more than £750,000.

No disrespect to Bettaliving, their customers or their assembled flat-pack furniture but they are simply at opposite ends of the spectrum from Smallbone and Rock and Bone as are Bentley and Kia.
