Re-Imagine your Kitchen with REFORM and Norm Architects
Copenhagen-based kitchen design studio Reform have uncovered their newest collaboration with the renowned Danish group Norm Architects called ‘PROFILE’ – a hybrid you do not want to miss. Discover sustainable, minimalistic kitchenware with the exciting new collection, where functionality meets form.
In a bid against trend-driven design, award-winning Norm Architects pride themselves on their understated, functional and sleek design. A human-centric approach is at the core of all of their designs, ensuring products not only look good, but are also designed to offer their customer with a meaningful and lasting experience. Norm Architects elevate the heart of Scandinavian design, taking traditional elements and refining them to meet the needs of the modern-day home with the use of natural and durable materials.
If you’re not already familiar with Reform and how they operate, then keep on reading and learn about their fresh take on kitchen design. Reform collaborates with renowned, industry-leading designers and architects alike to create exciting collections, which push industry boundaries. Their ethos is all about creating practical and functional living solutions, without compromising on their modern yet timeless aesthetic.
Reform operates on a bespoke design service, meaning you can choose from a number of settings and finishes to create your dream kitchen. PROFILE comes in three different varieties: Painted, Dark Oak and Natural Oak. Once you have chosen your desired kitchen finish, then a further five-shade range is available to match the countertops. From Dark Anthracite to Sand, there is something to cater for a wide range of personal tastes. The surface treatment of the PROFILE range is a matte, lacquered gloss, leaving a timeless feel that lasts beyond the current trends.
Not only do the PROFILE kitchen designs look great, but the lacquer finish of the furnishings means that less maintenance is required, as well as offers a highly durable material so you don’t need to worry about the daily wear and tear. The handles within PROFILE are minimalistic, indented into the units themselves and made from aluminium, which further echoes the sleek and modern aesthetic running across all elements of the collaboration. What’s more, you can even choose from four different finishes on the handles: White, Golden Metal, Silver Metal and Dark Metal.
Countertops come in two materials: Fenix laminate or Ceramic. The laminate is manufactured to cleverly thermally heal any micro-scratches, making it durable over time. The Ceramic is equally durable and robust to withstand high temperatures, meaning pots and pans can be placed directly onto the surface. Both materials come in a range of muted colours. Whether you’re a fan of timeless wooden surfaces or a more simplified neutral colour palette, then PROFILE has you covered.
“We strive to make you consume less by designing beautiful products you won’t want to get rid of. Designing products that last is an overlooked driver of sustainability, which is extremely important for our planet.”
Reform offer a straight-forward approach when it comes to creating your dream kitchen. The process is split into three different stages: making a plan, choosing your design and lastly – delivery and installation. The process is simple, yet as personable as possible, meaning Reform will work alongside you to create something meaningful to you. They also offer a virtual kitchen designer, aiding you in the remote planning process, which is particularly fitting for 2020. Once you have your initial ideas, the expert design consultants at Reform will visualise your chosen design to fit within your home in a 3D format, ensuring that you end up with exactly what you envisioned. We’ve never spent as much time in our own homes as we collectively have in 2020, so it’s the perfect time to up your interiors game and invest in some timeless furniture.
