Column kitchen by Inga Sempé for Reform

Dezeen Showroom: French designer Inga Sempé aimed to break with the current trend of industrial kitchen units in her "warm and different" Column kitchens for Danish brand Reform.

The Column kitchen is characterised by its rounded-edged surfaces, sides and handles, which take the form of a column stretching from the top to the bottom of each door.

The Column kitchen aims to be both soft and bold

On closer inspection, the columns have a mushroom-shaped profile when viewed from the top, giving them an easily grippable form in addition to their strong 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."

The handles take the form of columns

Reform describes the Column Kitchen as "elegant and eclectic", "chunky yet refined" and "a break with the conventions of the kitchen".

The kitchen is available in natural oak, white ash or four colours of spray-painted ash veneer: Fresh Cream, Pistachio, Concrete or Dark Umbra. The doors and handles can be ordered in a monochrome look or mix and matched.
