Kitchen, Nordre Aker

  • Two rows of cherry cabinetry face each other beneath a window, their drawer fronts fitted with routed grips and no visible hardware. Light falls through the window and lands as a bright rectangle on the solid wood floor.
  • The kitchen island in cherry carries a stone worktop, with three stools lined along one side. The grain runs vertically across the drawer fronts, and light from the window falls across the surface.
  • The cherry drawer fronts line up under a natural stone worktop, each cut with routed grips along the edge. Light falls at an angle across the grain, casting a sharp shadow down the drawers.
  • The kitchen island in cherry wood sits between two counters with a light worktop, and the drawers have routed grips without visible hardware. The window between them is painted yellow, and its light catches the grain of the wood.
  • The drawer sits open beneath the stone worktop, holding a stack of coloured bowls. Dovetail joints mark the corner, and the cherry grain runs down the length of the front.
  • A cherry kitchen island with a stone worktop stands in front of a dining table surrounded by woven-seat chairs. Low sunlight from the window behind highlights the grain running across the drawer fronts.
  • Three cherry drawer fronts sit beneath a stone worktop, their routed grips casting sharp shadows across the surface. Low sunlight strikes the joint between stone and wood, bringing out the grain in the fronts.
  • The kitchen island and cabinets have cherry drawer fronts, with a worktop running toward the windows behind. Grain patterns shift from panel to panel, and light from the windows falls softly across the worktop.
  • The kitchen island in cherry stands with a stone worktop in front of the pale cabinet wall. Grain runs vertically along the drawer fronts, and two stools with red seats are pulled up to the counter.
  • The cherry kitchen counter runs along the wall, its drawers lined up beneath a pale worktop. Dark grain lines mark the fronts where light from the window falls.
  • The cabinet fronts in matt paint run from floor to ceiling and curve around the corner, without visible fittings. Beside them, an open cherry section shows its grain across drawers and cupboards.
  • Tall matte cabinets curve around a rounded corner from floor to ceiling, with a built-in oven set into the row. Beside it, a cherry cabinet opens toward a counter with a sink and routed grips.
  • A curved cherry wood cabinet opens onto a niche with shelves and a stone worktop. Light from a recessed panel above highlights the grain running through the wood.
  • The cherry wood nook holds two open shelves and a stone worktop, where an espresso machine stands. Hidden lighting above the shelves highlights the grain of the wood.
A natural stone worktop meets the solid cherry island at a cut corner above the sink. The drawer fronts show a vertical grain, while veining in the stone breaks in pale and golden tones along the edge.
