Clean lines, perfectly balanced proportions, and materials chosen for their restrained elegance.
Pure Form

Clean lines, perfectly balanced proportions, and materials chosen for their restrained elegance.
The Essenza collection distills European kitchen design to its purest expression — clean lines, perfectly balanced proportions, and materials chosen for their restrained elegance. Every element serves a purpose. Nothing is added for decoration alone.
Essenza takes its name from the Italian word for essence. It is a kitchen designed around subtraction — removing visual noise until only the essential remains. The result is a space that feels calm, considered, and effortlessly sophisticated.
Where other luxury collections compete for attention through ornamentation, Essenza creates impact through proportion, material quality, and the precise relationship between surfaces. This is a kitchen that becomes more beautiful the longer you live with it.
Yanis Remodeling customizes and installs Essenza kitchens for luxury residences across Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and surrounding communities throughout Orange County and Los Angeles.
Each installation is precisely configured to your kitchen dimensions, storage requirements, and lifestyle — from appliance selection and cabinetry depth to countertop edge profiles and integrated lighting layouts.
Essenza distills the kitchen to its purest, most essential form. Minimalist restraint, balanced proportions, and quiet confidence create spaces that feel calm, considered, and deeply refined.
In the Essenza philosophy, less is not simply less — it is the result of deliberate curation. Every element earns its place. Surfaces are clean, lines are precise, and the overall effect is one of serene, timeless beauty.
Multi-layer lacquer finish applied in controlled environments, hand-sanded between coats. Available in 48 curated colors from warm whites and soft greys to deep charcoal and navy. The matte surface resists fingerprints and creates the clean, shadow-free aesthetic central to Essenza.
Ultra-compact Dekton and premium engineered quartz countertops in thicknesses from 12mm to 30mm. Options include Dekton Kelya (dark marble effect), Silestone Calacatta Gold, and custom honed finishes. These surfaces combine natural stone aesthetics with superior heat and scratch resistance.
Hardware and integrated handles in anodized aluminum or satin nickel. Slim, geometric profiles that sit flush with cabinetry — visible only on close inspection. The metalwork is precision-machined to maintain the collection seamless visual language.
Tunable white LED strips (2700K-5000K) concealed within cabinetry reveals, under wall units, and within drawer interiors. Dimmable through smart home integration or dedicated wall controls. Light becomes a material in itself, defining spatial depth and surface quality.
Pure surfaces and soft tones — the beauty of restraint.
Flush cabinetry and hidden hardware — seamless design.
Natural light and open space — calm and clarity.
Material subtlety and balanced form — essential beauty.
Every Essenza kitchen begins with a detailed consultation at your home or our studio in Orange County. Here is how we bring your vision to life with precision and care.
We visit your home to measure the space, assess natural light, review architectural details, and understand your daily kitchen routines. We discuss the Essenza material palette and identify the color, surface, and hardware options that align with your aesthetic. This consultation is complimentary.
Our team develops detailed floor plans and photorealistic 3D renderings of your Essenza kitchen. Every dimension is calculated — cabinetry heights, countertop overhangs, appliance clearances, and lighting positions. We refine through 2-3 revision rounds. Typical design phase: 2-3 weeks.
Visit our showroom to review physical samples of lacquer colors, stone surfaces, and hardware finishes. We confirm every material specification before placing orders with our European manufacturing partners. Custom material lead time: 6-8 weeks.
Cabinetry is manufactured to your exact specifications in European facilities with precision CNC machining. Our certified installation team manages demolition, structural preparation, cabinetry mounting, countertop templating, and appliance integration. Installation timeline: 4-8 weeks.
A comprehensive quality walkthrough ensures every panel alignment, drawer mechanism, and lighting circuit meets our standards. We provide care instructions for your specific lacquer finish and surfaces. Professional photography documents your completed kitchen for our portfolio.
$90,000 — $210,000
Based on kitchen size (typically 150-350 sq ft), lacquer color complexity, countertop material, and appliance integration level. Timeline: 12 to 18 weeks from design approval to completion.
The Essenza experience is built around clarity — a structured design process with transparent pricing, regular progress updates, and a dedicated project manager from first consultation to final walkthrough. We believe the process should reflect the product: precise, calm, and thoughtfully considered.
Essenza kitchen installations typically range from $90,000 to $210,000 depending on kitchen size, lacquer finish complexity, countertop material, and appliance integration. A 200-square-foot Essenza kitchen with matte lacquer cabinetry, Dekton countertops, and integrated Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances averages $130,000 to $160,000 in the Southern California market.
From design approval to completion, expect 12 to 18 weeks. This includes 6-8 weeks for European manufacturing and material sourcing, followed by 4-8 weeks of on-site installation depending on the scope of structural modifications and appliance complexity.
Essenza offers 48 curated matte lacquer colors organized into five palettes: Warm Whites, Cool Neutrals, Soft Earth Tones, Deep Darks, and Accent Colors. Multi-layer application with hand-sanding between coats creates a depth of color that single-coat processes cannot achieve. Custom color matching is available for an additional fee.
Yes. While Essenza pairs beautifully with engineered surfaces like Dekton and Silestone, it also complements natural stone including honed marble, quartzite, and granite. We recommend booking a materials consultation to compare options side by side in our studio.
Yanis Remodeling installs Essenza kitchens across Orange County and Los Angeles County, including Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, and surrounding communities.
Essenza achieves minimalism through material precision rather than simply reducing features. The multi-layer lacquer process, flush hardware integration, and tunable LED lighting systems create a kitchen that feels considered and complete. Other minimalist brands often sacrifice functionality for appearance — Essenza maintains full functionality while achieving visual serenity.
Essenza is designed for seamless integration with premium appliance brands including Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, Gaggenau, and Thermador. Panel-ready refrigerators, concealed dishwashers, and flush-mount cooktops maintain the clean aesthetic. We handle all appliance specification and integration during the design phase.
Yes. All Essenza installations include a comprehensive warranty covering cabinetry structure, lacquer finish, hardware mechanisms, and installation workmanship. Countertop and appliance warranties are provided by their respective manufacturers. Extended care plans are available for ongoing maintenance.
