Cabinets · Kirkland, WA
Wardrobe doors clad in Abu Dhabi White Neolith, framed in warm walnut. The marble look runs across the doors as one continuous pattern.
The golden and gray veining had to line up across every door, since any gap in the pattern would show. Neolith is thin and needs careful handling. The handle-free doors also left no room for error in the fit against the walnut framing.
We used StoneEx digital laser templating to record the door openings and plan the veining so each panel matches its neighbor. The panels have an eased edge. The team set them against the digital templates and worked alongside the carpentry team on the walnut.
The veining flows across the wardrobe as a single surface, and the Silk finish adds a quiet texture. Integrated LED strip lighting and handle-free doors keep the look clean.
The challenge in detail
The hardest part of this Kirkland wardrobe was lining up the Abu Dhabi White Neolith panels across the doors. The stone has delicate golden and gray veining, and any misalignment between panels would break the visual continuity of the design. Neolith is also an ultra-thin material, so it needed careful handling through fabrication and installation.
The stone had to work with warm walnut wood framing. That called for exact measurements and cuts so the panels and the walnut would fit closely, keeping the design minimal and letting both materials show their natural character.
The doors are handle-free, which added another layer of difficulty. Without handles, the dimensions of each door had to match closely so the wardrobe would still open and close easily.
How we approached it
StoneEx digital laser scanning was used to template the wardrobe doors. The scan recorded both the dimensions and the veining patterns, so each Neolith panel could be cut to align with the panels beside it.
CNC cutting followed the digital template. Cutting the sintered stone this way kept the natural flow of the veining intact from panel to panel. The eased edge profile was also produced by CNC, which adds to the sleek look of the finished cladding.
During installation, our team positioned each panel using the digital templates as a guide. The walnut integration came from close collaboration with the carpentry team, so the stone and the wood were aligned with each other. The approach respected both how the wardrobe should look and how it has to work every day.
The finished project
The finished wardrobe pairs Neolith Abu Dhabi White with warm walnut wood. Because the panels are aligned, the veining runs continuously across the doors, and the wardrobe has become a focal point in the room.
The Silk finish gives the Neolith a subtle texture that adds to its visual appeal. The integrated LED strip lighting draws attention to the refined design, and the handle-free operation keeps the minimal style intact, so the stone and the wood are what you notice first.
Together, the marble-look panels, the walnut framing and the lighting give the room a contemporary character, with each material doing its part in a single, coordinated design. The eased edges on the Neolith panels soften the profile of each door, in keeping with the sleek, handle-free style.
