Copenhagen, Denmark
Jean Nouvel’s design inspires us to live a life of expression, without drowning out everything else – which I think is quite sympathetic and beautiful,” states Jeppe Christensen, founder and CEO of Reform.
The new Reflect kitchen design by French superstar Nouvel for Copenhagen-based brand Reform is minimalistic, but yet super expressionistic —a kitchen designed to be as hard-wearing and functional as it is dazzling and iconic.
Reflect’s monochrome fronts are made from sturdy, reflective steel imbued with vertical ridges, adding Nouvel’s celebrated talent for exploring light and atmosphere to the kitchen’s surroundings.
The kitchen is available in two variants: Black and Metal. Made from sturdy steel imbued with vertical ridges, both variants feature a high-gloss, reflective surface.
The surface is a thin, embossed stainless steel sheet placed on top of an MFC board. It’s framed with extruded profiles of anodized aluminum on all sides. The handle is integrated and formed by the extruded aluminum profile.
The Black variant is coated with a dark-colored, corrosion-resistant layer and the Metal variant comes with a surface in a natural steel color.
Both variants have been finished off with a clear anti-fingerprint varnish making the material resistant to daily use and household detergents while maintaining the aesthetic of the raw metal.
The handle is an integrated part of the design and it’s made from an extruded aluminum profile.
Anodized aluminum makes the handle and frame more durable and resistant to wear and tear.
The handle is always positioned vertically on doors and horizontally on drawers. The total thickness of the front including the extruded aluminum handle is 1.3
The recommended countertops come in stainless steel. The steel type used in Reform countertops is 304 brushed stainless steel with a thickness of 5mm.
The stainless-steel surface excels in being extremely resilient and durable, lending it superior
performance around the hob and/or the sink. FENIX NTM laminate is a super soft and smooth surface.
It is manufactured with the use of nanotechnologies making it possible to thermally heal any micro-scratches. The material is highly resistant to scratches and withstands impact and acid-based solvents while also being liquid repellent and antibacterial.
With the grooves in the gleaming metal brilliantly catching the light, the stainless steel and grey and black Fenix laminate countertops become elegant and illuminated expanses.
Reflect is available with the Reform Kitchen Cabinet System.
