Private residence, Billingstad

The roof extends over the terrace, resting on a round column, with oak-framed windows facing the garden. The panel beneath the window is painted a muted blue, and the wooden deck meets the lawn in a straight line.
  • The kitchen island stands with solid oak cabinets behind a steel-clad front, beneath a pine ceiling. The pine panel on the side wall shows the grain clearly in the light from the window.
  • A solid oak cabinet door stands ajar, revealing an orange-lined interior with jars and bowls. Below, a stainless steel worktop runs down to drawers with routed grips.
  • A steel-clad kitchen island stands before cabinets and drawers with solid oak fronts, beneath a ceiling of linear wood panelling. Light from the window slides along the grain and reflects off the polished worktop.
  • The open drawer beneath the worktop holds several cutting boards stacked in solid oak. The orange interior panel contrasts with the pale fronts and the visible grain of the wood.
  • A stainless steel kitchen island stands before cabinets with solid oak drawer fronts, next to an open corner cabinet with shelves painted orange. The grain in the fronts runs vertically beneath the pine ceiling.
  • The solid oak cabinet opens onto an orange-lined interior holding glass and ceramic objects on two shelves. Below sits a built-in oven, and the pine panel above follows the grain of the wood.
  • A solid oak drawer is pulled open beneath the worktop, holding a mortar and a red object. Dovetail joints mark the corners where the drawer is assembled.
The drawer stands open beneath the steel worktop, its solid wood front paired with an orange interior. Material samples in stone, glass and coloured paper rest on the surface behind.

A love story

The collaboration between Smau and Hamran has deep roots. 15 years ago, the architect discovered a small joinery workshop at Snartemo.

- Since then it's been a little love story, says Bjarte, who has worked with Hamran on several of his projects over the years. The new series is their first collaborative collection.

What he appreciates most is the combination Hamran has of tradition and, at the same time, a willingness to try something new.

- There is both town and country in Hamran, something I value highly. They are keen to do things differently, while also being very rooted in the way they have done things for many years, he says.

Instead of routed grips, Hamran has turned round knobs in wood, a simpler approach in production, without compromising on the expression.

- It's an example of the head meeting the heart, says Sandal.

The collection comprises kitchens, bathroom cabinets and wardrobes in walnut or pine on the outside, with three colours to choose from on the inside of the carcasses.
