Built in Little Falls.
Installed everywhere from Tribeca to Greenwich.

Épure builds kitchens for clients across New Jersey, New York City, and Connecticut from a shop in Little Falls, NJ. Every kitchen is fully custom — designed around your space, built from the species you choose, in the door style that fits the architecture, finished with the hardware that completes it.

This page walks through how those choices come together: materials, door styles, craft details, and a few design directions we like to take.

Materials & finishes

Six woods we love to build with.

Every kitchen starts with the wood. These are our most-specified species and finishes — each one finished in our shop with Rubio Monocoat hardwax oil or Ilva matte lacquer for a surface that ages well and repairs cleanly.

Door styles

Three door languages, infinite combinations.

Most of our kitchens lead with one of three door styles — flat-front slab, classic Shaker inset, or vertical fluting. We mix them freely within a single kitchen when the architecture calls for it.

Flat slab door in stained walnut veneer
Flat slab
Quartersawn or rift-cut veneers. Continuous grain across drawer banks. Reads modern and quiet — best for clean architecture and book-matched runs.
Shaker-style inset door, painted ivory
Shaker inset
Five-piece frame-and-panel, set flush within the face frame. The most enduring door in American cabinetmaking — equally at home in a townhouse or a barn conversion.
Vertical fluted door panel in white oak
Vertical fluting
Solid-machined reeded fronts. Catches light along its length and adds quiet texture to islands, pantry walls, and full-height tower runs.
Craft details

It's the inside that gives it away.

Solid hardwood drawer boxes with dovetailed joinery. Custom-fitted interiors. Solid bronze and brass hardware from independent foundries. The work you see only when you open the drawer is where a custom kitchen earns its keep.
