Core

Created from recycled wood

Core is produced at our Danish carpentry workshop. The raw materials for the plates consist of 90% recycled wood from Danish recycling stations – the rest is thinning wood from Danish forests and waste from the wood industry.

The Core collection has a very special and beautiful natural variation that emerges when the recycled wood is ground up and turned into panels. When the finest parts of the wood mass, such as oak or hardwood, concentrate in specific areas of the panel, small nuances are created. By retaining these nuances, we minimize waste and reduce scrap while also obtaining a unique product where no two kitchens are the same.

We see the beauty in variation and imperfection, and with Core, you give discarded wood new life in the form of a kitchen that reduces the environmental impact and minimizes the use of entirely new wood.

We turn the inside out

With the Core collection, we have cut away all the unnecessary and instead highlight what is traditionally concealed. Core consists of the core – without the traditional surface such as laminate or linoleum. It creates a beautiful and unique product with a high degree of honesty. An organic warmth where the structure of the panels is an integral part of the expression and is beautifully complemented by the edges made of solid ash wood.

With Core, you get a kitchen with a long lifespan. The surface is coated with a lacquer that is resistant to everyday wear and tear. Should it get a scratch, you can repair it on the spot with the touch-up paint that comes with it, thus preserving a fresh appearance.

More environmentally friendly

The Core collection is developed with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions. The result is a highly unique product consisting of the honest core – Danish recycled material in its purest form. When we choose to expose the core, it is partly to reduce material and energy consumption in the production of each kitchen door. But also because it creates a beautiful and unique product.

When your Core kitchen has served its time with you or the subsequent occupants of your home, it can become part of a new circular process. It can be handed in and collected, ground down and reborn as new panels and new kitchens, thus remaining in a usage cycle instead of being incinerated, emitting CO2.

The Core collection was developed in collaboration with Johansen Skovsted Architects, an award-winning Danish architectural duo consisting of Søren Johansen and Sebastian Skovsted.

Johansen Skovsted Architects often work on renovation projects where the focus is on creating renewal by preserving the existing, adding on, and reinterpreting. They have, among other awards, won the Dreyers Fonds Hæderpris in 2022.
