This just in—literally, as of yesterday: a new collection of cabinets by the French designer Inga Sempé for Reform. I just wanted to do something warm and different.
The Column kitchen plays with roundedness and curves, adding dimension to cabinet fronts with long handles that span the full length. I think it is easy to do an aggressive kitchen that looks different and to justify it by calling it design.
A tone-on-tone approach, with cabinets and handles all in Fresh Cream.
The handle looks semicircular from the front but is actually mushroom-shaped: “Easy to grab, and feels good to the touch,” according to Reform.
Taller cabinets with drawers for efficient storage.
A closeup of the handles—and of the storage within—all in white ash.
When we first featured it back in 2018, Copenhagen-based Reform offered cabinet fronts designed to kit out Ikea cabinet boxes (see Ikea Kitchen Upgrade: 11 Custom Cabinet Companies for the Ultimate Kitchen Hack)—but they’ve since grown to offer all their own cabinet interiors instead.
The Column kitchen—and island—in natural oak.
The kitchen is available in six finishes: natural oak, white ash, and painted veneer in hues (Fresh Cream, Pistachio, Concrete, and Dark Umbra, shown here on the back cabinets).
