I think it has to do with some of the accents. There are actually small corbels at the crown molding bottom panel like what’s at the peninsula, and also the tapered legs are Adirondack style apparently. The small corbels are not pictured in the images - software limitations - but they look like this attached photo.

I have been taken on a deep dive by my clients who are extremely intelligent and thoughtful and have pushed this design to new levels that I couldn’t have imagined alone.
