1. The architect's dream kitchen in wood

In a townhouse in Copenhagen, we have designed a wooden kitchen for Danish architect Jeppe Dueholm and his family, with careful choices taken for the house's history and architecture. Here, there's a durable steel countertop that contrasts nicely with the cream-colored cabinets and the dark-stained oak bench. The layout and material mix create a space that's more than just a place to cook and eat in; instead, it's a room to spend time together in, whether it's a weekday or a celebration.

2. The classic kitchen with Terrazzo

This frame kitchen checks many boxes on the list. It's calm and elegant while also being expressive and personal. The smooth doors with line glass create an expression that feels both modern and classic. In contrast to the discreet kitchen doors, we find the expressive Terrazzo, which quickly captures attention and has been the basis for choosing colors for cabinets and walls.

3. Elegant wooden kitchen with Shaker doors

Together with interior designer Alexandra Ogonowski, we have created a wood kitchen where modern Scandinavian meets traditional Japanese in a harmonious balance. In style and material mixes, such as the wood grains and the straight lines in the Shaker doors, an exciting contrast is created. Above the kitchen counter, there's a warm beige Jura limestone, which also dresses the walls like an exclusive splashback. The combination of oak and limestone brings to mind Japanese interiors where natural material choices often meet geometric and simple designs.

4. Dark brown oak kitchen with beautiful contrasts

In Saltsjöbaden outside Stockholm, we have designed and built a wooden kitchen for Isabella D'Amore and her husband. The choices landed on doors in dark brown oak and the ceramic stone Capraia, which dresses both the kitchen counter and the kitchen island. The components create a holistic feeling of elegance, while the warm palette creates a relaxing environment. The custom-built wine rack is another beautiful detail in the kitchen, which, with the mirrored wall behind it, both reflects light and adds depth to the room.

5. Classic green Shaker kitchen

In this classic Shaker kitchen, the calm, green color is met by a beautiful light countertop in Carrara marble and brass handles. Two display cabinets are mounted on the wall, and contribute to the timeless feeling and create space for personal favorites to be displayed. By incorporating the hood into the cabinet above the stove, even necessary functions follow the kitchen's throughout aesthetics.

6. The architect's Scandinavian design kitchen

Together with architect Åsa Hjort, we have developed a timeless oak kitchen with a view of the beautiful nature of Kivik. The natural materials, such as the oak doors and the quartz countertop, are contrasted by straight, modern lines. Smooth doors are varied with open shelves to create variation in the Scandinavian design kitchen. The kitchen island has become the centre point of the room, a place to enjoy each other's company and good food while light streams in through the large windows.

7. Classic country kitchen in Scandinavian style

In Helene Richter's apartment in central Malmö, we have built a classic Shaker kitchen with the Nordic light as inspiration. Thanks to the consistent color scheme, the kitchen feels well-planned and harmonious, even though the different sections of the kitchen differ in width. The kitchen doors have a slimmer frame and an interior in white-pigmented solid oak, which is also repeated in the custom-built display cabinet. The limestone countertop brings warmth to the otherwise sleek kitchen, where everything together creates a cozy and calm environment to land in.

8. The blue retro kitchen

In a 1960s villa in Oslo, together with architect Ingrid Pay, we have created an oak kitchen with a distinctive blue color palette. Along one wall of the kitchen stands a display cabinet in the characteristic blue color, with line glass and interiors in oak. Together with cabinet doors in oak, rounded corners, and a beautiful countertop in quartz composite, a balance of materials and design is formed. Here, past and present meet and invite to a homely and relaxed kitchen.

9. A modern wooden kitchen

In collaboration with the interior design studio AO/JN Interiors, we have developed this modern wooden kitchen. The design is both functional and inviting for social gatherings, much thanks to the large kitchen island. Harmonious natural materials such as doors in white-pigmented oak are combined with a countertop in white quartzite, giving the kitchen an airy feeling. At the same time, details like curved corners add a discreet elegance and take the design to the next level.

10. A frame kitchen with classic details

In the 1920s villa on Särö, Josefin Nerme lives with her family. When renovating the kitchen, it was important to create a space inviting for gatherings. Based on this wish, a generous kitchen island was developed, where both cooking and socializing can coexist. In addition to the kitchen island, the frame kitchen is characterized by the greenish shimmering J'adore quartzite, which gives a personal expression, while the smooth oak doors with push-open function add a modern touch to the kitchen.
