Minimalist & Warm Column Kitchen Is A Refreshing Change From The Typical Industrial Kitchen Units

Kitchen units today can be pretty industrial and stark, they tend to be quite unfeeling and aren’t a great option for those who like their homes to be warm and comforting. If you’re someone who is tired of the same old kitchen units and is looking for a breath of fresh air in your home, then you’ve reached the right spot. Meet the Column Kitchen by French designer Inga Sempé.  A minimal and good-looking kitchen unit, the Column Kitchen is designed to be “warm and different”. The Column Kitchen was designed by Sempé for the Danish brand Reform.

Designer: Inga Sempé for Reform

Designed for the Danish brand Reform, the Column Kitchen is a unique and subtle kitchen unit that features rounded-edged surfaces, sides, and handles. The various components of the unit come together to form a column that stretches harmoniously from the top to the bottom of each door. As you look closely at the kitchen unit, you’ll realize that the columns feature a mushroom-shaped profile when it is viewed from the top! This provides the unit with a form that is easily and efficiently gripp-able, while also adding a strong and defined visual identity.

“Industrial kitchens often look the same as home kitchens these days,” said Sempé. “Like a sum of cubes. We are obliged to live surrounded by these cubes, and I’m fed up with it. I just wanted to do something warm and different. Beautiful and rich, but not antipathetic.”

Reform has described the Column Kitchen as “elegant and eclectic”, “chunky yet refined” and “a break with the conventions of the kitchen”, making it an exceptional addition to modern homes. The Column Kitchen unit is available in natural oak, white ash, or four colors of spray-painted ash veneer – Fresh Cream, Pistachio, Concrete, or Dark Umbra. The door and handles of the Column Kitchen can be selected in a monochrome look or mix and matched version, helping you customize and create the kitchen unit that perfectly caters to your personal taste and preference while providing your mundane old kitchen with a new and exciting look!

This kitchen cupboard’s detailed design will please Marie Kondo and Bobby Berk!

We all want a cupboard or a wardrobe that will take us to Narnia because dealing with the White Witch seems easier than dealing with this pandemic. While magic furniture may not be something we can order online, we sure hope we can get the Muzhi cupboard to make the extended hours in the kitchen more magical! Yen-Hao, Chu is an award-winning designer who has created the Muzhi cupboard for storing all your kitchenware in a way that will make Marie Kondo proud of your organization skills and Bobby Berk happy with your sense of aesthetic.

The cupboard is made of three main parts that the owner can assemble or disassemble according to their needs. The upper part of the cupboard is semi-open where the right side can be used to store tableware and the left side can be used for potted plants as it is open on three sides which allows for ample sunlight. The middle area is an open spacious section that can be used as a sideboard, a small bar counter, or a place to keep small and medium-sized appliances like a kettle, coffee maker or a toaster. Meanwhile, the lower section has a partly glazed left-hand drawer to let the owner see what’s stored inside and the large tray area on the right-hand side can be used to store pot covers or everyday utensils. Details like the solid timber handrail and hanging rails were added to provide a neat place for towels and wine glasses.

Muzhi comes in two finishes and has a simple yet elegant design that blends clean lines with the warmth of wood – a piece of evergreen furniture that will always be useful. It also makes the kitchen look more airy and spacious with the partially-open components. The modular build of this piece makes it the right fit for any kitchen but especially smaller ones that need to optimize space. Having Muzhi is definitely better than a bunch of bulky cabinets, it adds a timeless touch to your kitchen and you never have to fumble to find your dishes again.
