A timeless Shaker-style kitchen

A timeless Shaker-style kitchen
This project combines a timeless Shaker kitchen with the classic turn-of-the-century character of the building from 1875, located in central Gothenburg. With respect for the historical details, such as well-preserved ceiling stucco, we created a harmonious whole where the modern meets the traditional. The kitchen is designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, with a focus on sustainable materials and sophisticated lighting.
Shaker-style kitchen a classic foundation with modern touches
We chose a modern interpretation of the Shaker style for this kitchen, with stylish framed doors. The doors have a frame measuring 55 mm in width and are made from CNC-cut MDF to ensure precision and durability. The classic framed doors are complemented by a symmetrical design, where each drawer and cabinet harmonizes to create a calm and balanced aesthetic.
The open shelves and cabinets are clad in oak veneer, which adds warmth and contrast to the otherwise light kitchen. We’ve also worked with details like knobs to enhance the classic feel.
Style: NCS S2005-Y30R
Hatch type: Frame hatch
Carcasses: Anthracite laminate in closed cabinets and oak veneer in open cabinets
Grip solution: Knobs and handles
Lighting: Integrated in the back of open shelves and in the stone shelf
Special solutions: Stone shelf with integrated LED. Built-in wine fridge.
Special adaptations and details
This kitchen is designed with several hidden features and thoughtful solutions. As there is a chimney protruding from the wall, we created a tailor-made placement of the glass cabinets to integrate them with the structure of the room. Where the chimney ends, we were also able to fit a wine fridge.
In addition, we chose to keep the cabinets below ceiling height to leave room for original ceiling stucco. In this way, the sense of space and respect for the history of the building is enhanced.
The countertops are made of Thala gray stone, providing an elegant surface that is both practical and durable. These are contrasted with modern technical solutions, such as a built-in remote induction hob with downdraft and plasma filter. The plasma filter replaces the carbon filter and removes 99% of all odors
Dishwasher and a half freezer are hidden behind hatches.
Lighting that sets the mood
Lighting plays a central role in this project. We have implemented both concealed LED lighting in the open shelves and an external lighting design to emphasize room volumes. The recessed LED lights are strategically placed to create a soft and inviting atmosphere, without being directly visible to the eye.
Due to the origin of the building, we could not use recessed spotlights, so we opted for a surface-mounted track to integrate the lighting in a stylish way. This solution makes it possible to adjust the brightness and create different moods in the kitchen.




The display cabinet - the jewel of the kitchen
One of the most striking features of the kitchen is the built-in display cabinet. The cabinet’s glass doors and warm oak shelves create an elegant contrast to the gray kitchen. Wine glasses, crockery and decorative objects can be placed here, giving the kitchen a personal and sophisticated touch. The interior lighting highlights the objects and gives the cabinet a warm and inviting glow, especially in the evening.
Shaker style kitchen - function meets form
Beyond aesthetics, we have focused on creating a kitchen with smart solutions. The drawer divisions are optimized for storing cutlery and kitchen utensils, and the tailor-made storage makes it easy to keep things tidy. Every detail is designed to make everyday life both easier and more inspiring.
