Circular Economy Kitchen by Reform

Danish design brand Reform has created a new Everyday classic. This kitchen consists of cuts that are left when Dinesen has supplied floors to places like galleries, restaurants & mansions.

Danish design brand Reform’s projects start with a basic ingredient – elements from the IKEA kitchen. Add architect-designed fronts and countertops to create an aesthetic and a personal style that combines quality construction, function and timeless design. Together with designers they want to challenge the traditional kitchen industry by bringing timeless appeal of furniture to the cooking areas of our homes – creating new ‘Everyday Classics’.

Through the years, it’s been a big wish of Reform’s founders to offer a sustainable kitchen design. In this new design Reform has collaborated with one of the top architecture companies when it comes to circular economics in sustainable buildings around the world, Lendager Group. Lendager Group has exclusive rights to use the surplus wood from floor-company Dinesen, which was the last little part that made this collaboration a perfect fit. In an exclusive company like Dinesen, customer-specific solutions are produced, which generates large amounts of residual wood. Therefore, the kitchen consists of cuts that are left when Dinesen has supplied floors to galleries, restaurants and mansions.

Easy to flatten from Le Creuset

Smart Package from Le Creuset. For the mini cocottes – super-easy to flatten. A magnet keeps the package closed. It’s quite a premium package, their intention is probably that people should re-use the package…good intention, but my believe is that people don’t need more stuff in their houses…..make packages lean and easy to throw away…..A simpler…

It’s quite a premium package, their intention is probably that people should re-use the package…good intention, but my believe is that people don’t need more stuff in their houses…..make packages lean and easy to throw away…..A simpler package, meaning less material, with the very same construction would be great. Convenient for the consumer, flatten it in 2 seconds – ready to dispose of.

Veggie Bag for your fridge

Keep your mushrooms and other vegetables fresh in the fridge. The re-usable bag is made by the Boston based brand Bruno Super Deluxe.

Keep your mushrooms and other vegetables fresh in the fridge. The re-usable bag is made by the Boston based brand Bruno Super Deluxe. Couple of months ago somebody told me to put a piece of bread in the fridge. It will absorb any bad smell. I forgot to tell my family about it and they got more and more irritated of the breadcrumb all over the fridge. It’s probably a better idea to integrate that absorption in a container. With this bag the veggies are saved, but you’ll still have a gust of old food when you open the fridge. Tupperware – Halleluja!

It’s made of PP and they come in different sizes to fit most of your glass jars.
