Case in point: A few weeks ago, Julie stumbled upon Coquo, a Montreal-based company revolutionizing modular kitchen systems, which in turn led us to Witness Apartment, just a few blocks south of our New York offices, in the heart of Manhattan\u2019s Flower District. (N.B.: We\u2019ll be writing more about Coquo itself in another post; stay tuned.)<\/p>\n<p>Though the name (and Google searches) brings to mind something more sinister, Witness is a rentable apartment on West 30th Street\u2014a \u201ccurated lifestyle shop, creative incubator, and design space,\u201d according to their site\u2014complete with a kitchen, dining area, bed, and bath, and available for photo and film shoots, weddings, and events. The kitchen\u2014recently overhauled with Coquo\u2019s modular kitchen furniture, a Smeg fridge, and black KitchenAid appliances\u2014is, the site says, \u201cperfect for turn-key dinner productions:\u201d one of the most design-forward kitchens we\u2019ve seen this the summer, ready for a sophisticated midsummer soiree in the middle of the city. Take a look (and contact Witness Apartment for more information).<\/p>\n<p>Photography via&nbsp;Coquo&nbsp;and&nbsp;Witness Apartment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/4978534088925588428.jpg\">  <br \/>Above: The apartment\u2019s \u201cTest Kitchen\u201d was recently overhauled, and the existing white cabinetry and butcher-block countertops (visible&nbsp;here) replaced with Coquo\u2018s modular kitchen furniture, tableware from Italian brand Seletti, a Smeg fridge, and large appliances from KitchenAid\u2019s Black Stainless Steel line. The new, monochrome update made its debut during this year\u2019s New York Design Week.<br \/>\n<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/6702587390155959577.png\">  <br \/>Above: The kitchen, with Coquo\u2018s modular kitchen elements, including the Radix Appliance Kit (at left; for fitting around a dishwasher; from $679), the Voltaire Cabinet (on the back wall, holding wood serveware; $1,279), the&nbsp;Braccas Island&nbsp;in midnight black-stained oak with a black Fenix countertop ($1,279), and the Radix Three-Drawer Cabinet&nbsp;(at right; from $1,699 for the smallest size).   <\/p>\n<p>The Montreal-based company\u2019s mantra? \u201cFurniture should last a lifetime and change with your life.\u201d In other words: Kitchens should be flexible and customizable, able to shift according to need\u2014not the clunky, built-in, long-term commitment of traditional kitchens. Their kitchen furniture is made of materials made to last\u2014solid oak and powder-coated steel, in three colors\u2014and the mix-and-match pieces are suitable for full-kitchen overhauls or smaller, partial updates.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1616276437129618102.jpg\">  <br \/>Above: Coquo\u2019s Radix Cabinet&nbsp;($1,279) serves as the base for the matte black sink.
