Here in central Stockholm, interior designer Alexandra Ogonowski and Nordiska Kök have created a kitchen where modern Scandinavian design meets traditional Asian aesthetics. The result is a harmonious mix of colors, shapes and materials. The kitchen island has the warmth of stained oak and Jura limestone — an aesthetic inspired by traditional Japanese teppanyaki hobs where the chef entertains the guests with his cooking. The cupboards in a calm, gray tone bring you the very best of both design traditions.
The contrast between the gray Shaker-inspired cabinets and the warm oak cabinets and limestone creates a brilliant harmony and a rarely seen sense of calm.
Inspired by Japanese teppanyaki hobs, the island fulfills an important function as the kitchen's functional center as well as its social hub.
The kitchen has an open floor plan that opens into the living room and dining area. The kitchen space was specifically created to harmonize with these adjacent spaces.
Every choice has been carefully thought out. The delicate contrasts between the warmth of the wood and the cooler gray of the cabinets create a perfect harmony. The floor has been stained to match the kitchen doors.
By building a kitchen island on two levels, you avoid the need for uncomfortable bar stools. Instead, you get a sleek combination of a modern bar and traditional kitchen table. The beautiful glass lamps above the island comes from Parachilna.
The kitchen offers generous surface space and myriad smart solutions. The bespoke cabinets are extra deep to take advantage of the expanded area. All of the storage space is completely concealed behind the stained oak cabinets.
The elegant Nordic design and beautiful tones of gray and oak wood work together to create a soft and harmonious aesthetic. The wooden interior and Jura limestone serve as brilliant accents in the space. The result is a modern Scandinavian design mixed with warm Japanese elements — a timeless kitchen made for the modern family.
