“Bastide” is a real family kitchen. All in harmony, it plays on the soft tones of antique patinas and furnishings in mellow hues. Totally efficient, it nevertheless inspires restfulness while playing on warmth as its predominant feature. It clearly conveys the soul of the entire home. All the artistry of De Tonge, precursor of colour in the early ’nineties and recent winner of the gold medal in the 2005 “Cuisines et Bains d’Or” contest. De Tonge, 93 rue d’Antibes, Cannes (04 93 39 20 00). D35, Valbonne (04 93 95 80 00).
