Hi everyone
Lego Kitchen (Photo Credit: DesignYouTrust.com)
I’ve loved this LEGO kitchen island for the longest time. Unforch for us, LEGO’s not exactly cheap in Malaysia. Plus, how do you make sure food scraps and crusty bits don’t get stuck in the gaps between the LEGO pieces? Hmm…
Icky factor aside, this is still really cool.
This LEGO kitchen was attempted by designers Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti from Paris, for Munchausen. And it took them more than 20,000 pieces to put this piece of art together.
Have you attempted any art projects at home like this too? Let us know!

Hey Jade
When I first saw this the first thing I thought was “Hey, what a cool idea and an easy DIY!” I actually did some planning and research on how I’d make my own and I came up with -
- Making only the countertop and extending it down the sides so it fits on an existing countertop like a cap.. If you wanted the full effect down the side it could be a work in progress..
- Layer of glass on top would solve the icky bits issue, a little bit of transparent silicone would hold it quite easily
- As for the Lego blocks there are a lot of places online that you can buy them in bulk (search for ‘bulk lego’ on ebay for example)
I originally wanted it for a dining table so it was just a matter of putting the lego top over a solid cheap wood base with trestle legs
Love DIYS

Awesome, thanks for the tips Steph! Unfortunately it won’t fit my new place too. Kitchen’s hidden away and my dining table would’ve been perfect, but we’re planning for a heavy dining table made of recycled railway sleepers. We wanna dine like a Viking at our new place hahaha.
Would love to see you attempt it though!

Where CAN you find recycled railway sleepers? I’d kill for some.

Don’t need to kill for it… just pay!
Will get the contact for you if you’re serious about it.
