Kitchen Showroom Schmidt Winchester

Ritzie Rapacon

My passion for design was shaped by a lifetime of global exploration from the serene minimalism of Tokyo’s interiors to the enduring elegance of Tuscan villas and spanning continents from Asia and Australia to Europe and the Americas. Each journey revealed a profound truth: that culture, craftsmanship, and creativity are the essence of how we live.

Schmidt Winchester is the embodiment of that vision a place where East meets West, and where the timeless artistry of French heritage is reimagined through the lens of modern sustainability. Here, bespoke furniture is not simply made; it is curated with intention and care, and designed to resonate deeply with those who inhabit the space.

I believe fitted furniture should do more than fill a room. It should elevate it, enrich it, and reflect the spirit of those who dwell within. Every kitchen, bedroom, and made-to-measure piece we create is a tribute to refined living: meticulously crafted, globally inspired, and tailored to your lifestyle.

This is not just design. It is legacy. Furniture that feels personal, spaces that feel effortless. Crafted consciously. Lived beautifully.
