Kitchen of the Week: A State-of-the-Art Kitchen System from Finland

August 18, 2016

Emerging Finnish design company Kitzen specializes in kitchen systems that offer, as its founders like to say, “the ideal conditions for cooking.” And, we might add, for keeping clutter out of sight. Kitzen’s look is modern and seamless: Its fully made kitchens use top-of-the-line materials and appliances (by Miele and Gaggenau) and don’t skimp on the storage.

Kitzen customizes its systems, and every project starts with an experienced designer asking questions such as: What kind of life will this kitchen see? Here’s a glimpse of Kitzen’s latest options.

Above: The Softer Touch kitchen cabinetry combines wood with touches of white. It was designed with a family in mind: While cooking takes place, the children can tackle their homework around the large island.

We’re increasingly sold on the concept of the fully loaded kitchen system:
