In this episode of the Love Your Kitchen Podcast, host Faye Newman sits down with George Glasier from Pluck Kitchens, a London-based company known for its sustainable, design-led kitchens. They discuss Pluck’s journey, their commitment to eco-friendly materials, and how their unique approach balances aesthetics with functionality. George shares insights into their design philosophy, the benefits of birch plywood cabinetry, and how thoughtful colour choices create timeless kitchen spaces.

Key Takeaways

Sustainability First: Pluck prioritises eco-friendly materials like birch plywood and high-pressure laminate, avoiding MDF and chipboard for a durable, low-impact design.

Timeless Design Philosophy: Kitchens should be designed to last, avoiding short-term trends and focusing on natural materials, balanced proportions, and thoughtful colour choices.

Custom Craftsmanship: Every Pluck kitchen is designed and built in-house, allowing for complete control over quality, materials, and aesthetic consistency.

Colour with Purpose: Clients are encouraged to choose colours they truly love rather than following trends, ensuring a long-lasting and personal kitchen design.

Holistic Space Planning: Kitchens are part of a wider home environment, so Pluck designs integrate seamlessly with architectural features and surrounding spaces.

Key Moments

"A well-designed kitchen should feel like it’s always been part of the home, not just placed in an empty room."

"Sustainability isn’t just about materials; it’s about designing a kitchen that lasts a lifetime."

"Choosing colour should be a confident decision—when you love it, you won’t feel the need to repaint in six months."

"We don’t follow trends; we create kitchens that feel timeless and work with the character of the space."
