Dezeen Showroom: Dutch architect Mette Fredskild has designed a customisable kitchen island for Lithuanian brand Kongacph that draws on the “calm and simplicity” of Japandi design.
The bespoke solid oak 25×25 Workshop Kitchen is based on a simple grid system and named after the 25 by 25 milllimetre battens that comprise its structural frame.
This modular, component-based approach allows the design to be arranged into different configurations and adapted to spaces of various sizes.
Its open-frame structure means that the kitchen maintains a sense of lightness that allows it to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding living spaces while creating an organised, professional-grade workspace for cooking enthusiasts.
“It embraces functional minimalism, merging the simplicity of Nordic kitchens with the fluidity and sensitivity of Japanese aesthetics to cater to modern living spaces that prioritise both form and function,” Kongacph said.
Each bespoke kitchen is arranged to highlight the natural grain and texture of the wood, with precise joinery and hand-finished details.
The structure itself is FSC-certified and incorporates oak off-cuts to create a design that is durable while minimising waste.
