In 2015, the company’s owner, architect Hans Ladegaard, set out to develop a kitchen with a completely new and different approach—a paradigm shift.
The paradigm was to view a kitchen as any other high-quality piece of furniture. Fine furniture is characterized by its longevity; people keep it for a lifetime, and it is often passed down to the next generation.
This stands in contrast to modern kitchens, which are typically made up of rectangular cabinets stacked next to each other—regardless of whether they are expensive or budget-friendly. On average, kitchens are replaced every 10 years. No matter which Western country you look at, the kitchen landscape remains largely the same.
But what does it take for a kitchen to become a high-quality piece of furniture that can be inherited?
Key Principles
Have we achieved the paradigm shift? Yes, according to those who have experienced our kitchens.
The quality has been rigorously tested by professional chefs in restaurant environments over several years. It has been proven to last 100+ years.
The kitchen’s plug-and-play installations ensure full mobility. All utilities are hidden, including appliances, which remain out of sight when not in use.
The design is well-proportioned, international, and classic, ensuring it fits seamlessly into most homes.
Only the finest, robust, natural, and elegant materials have been selected—materials that age gracefully. These include bronze, titanium, walnut, oak, wengé, and leather.
Yes, it is expensive to purchase. However, considering its long lifespan, it is a cost-effective investment—just like any other high-quality piece of furniture.
Food, tableware, and appliances like refrigerators are stored in built-in wall cabinets, discreetly integrated into the architecture of the home.
Those who have encountered our kitchen pieces are enthusiastic. We are humbled and grateful to have created a series of kitchen furnishings that bring joy to others.
