Reform - Kitchen designs by renowned architects and designers

The Danish designers at Reform have specialized in kitchen cabinets that can be used for everyday use. Despite the functionality, Reform places great emphasis on design. Each kitchen collection is developed in Copenhagen in collaboration with renowned designers and architects (e.g. Bjarke Ingels Group, Norm Architects, Muller Van Severen and Cecilie Manz). Together with them, we challenge conformity, explore culture and inspire new perspectives on how people live and work in kitchen spaces. Reform wants to experiment with new and traditional materials and methods, combine them and give them a modern twist.

We love good and timeless design: our aim is to give everyone access to outstanding design at affordable prices

The following lines in particular stand out at Reform:

BASIS

The BASIS kitchen doors and drawer fronts form an essence of purity and sleek design. The design is available in different styles: painted, linoleum and veneer. All three styles are characterized by the classic, milled round handle - a detail that brings warmth and elegance to the design. The veneered oak handle provides a contrast to the clean surface. With its round design, the handle is inspired by Scandinavian architect kitchens of the 1960s and echoes timeless and classic kitchen design.

The design is often combined with a linoleum worktop, especially as the solid oak edge on the worktop complements the natural oak of the milled handle and makes the whole kitchen look elegant and complete. As an alternative to linoleum, a solid wood worktop, which is available in either natural oak or smoked oak, can also be used.

FRAME

Multidisciplinary and forward-thinking, the Stockholm-based Note Design Studio have developed a vibrant design portfolio - RAHMEN. In the new Reform kitchen, traditional Scandinavian elements such as oak wood and veneer meet the sensual aesthetics of Note for an updated interpretation of the classic kitchen that combines the clean lines of the North with a warm and tactile human-centered approach. This kitchen puts people at the center and lets them touch and experience through the oak wood.

MATCH

Working at the intersection of art and design, Ghent-based duo Muller van Severen are far from your typical design team. One look at their new kitchen design for Reform makes this clear: the waxy polyethylene traditionally mentioned for chopping boards is combined with classic but playful elements such as brass handles and a sumptuous marble worktop. The end result is a kitchen that is as robust and resilient as it is exceptional and inspiring.

PLATE

Copenhagen-based studio David Thulstrup combines classic design history with a modern design language. It delves deep into the colors of modernity, albeit with a playful twist on tradition that David Thulstrup's eye for the crucial detail picks up on. Rich, dark hues and textures blend with the matte, industrial sheen of brushed aluminum and stainless steel to create a rugged and original look with a subtle, underlying sense of luxury. The kitchen for Studio David Thulstrup's Reform, which is both stylistically and materially enduring.

-

David Thulstrup is known for his skillful interplay of classic and modern design. His contribution to the Reform kitchen series not only impresses with its modern simplicity, but also with the sparing use of traditional elements in which the award-winning architect and designer emphasizes the natural properties of the materials used.

The kitchen with its iconic yet refreshing contemporary character can be fitted with either matt, high-gloss (available soon) or brushed fronts. In this puristic, honest and pleasantly straightforward design, rich colors and expressive surfaces such as granite meet matt, industrial-looking aluminum and stainless steel. PLATE is as classically modern as it is serious and stands out not only visually, but also in terms of the materials used through its durability. The kitchens have a refreshingly contemporary look, but also have the makings of a cult. The purist, no-frills design meets rich colors and an expressive granite surface.
