‘MATCH’ KITCHEN
by Muller Van Severen
Belgian husband-and-wife duo Hannes Van
Severen and Fien Muller describe their
material-driven concepts as ‘landscapes for
living’. Playful and unorthodox, their new
kitchen design for Reform (a Danish brand
specialising in stylish doors for Ikea
cabinets) doesn’t disappoint, with theatrical
multicoloured panels, brass details and a silky
marble countertop. Cast in the designers’
signature HDPE, a material traditionally
used to make cutting boards, this collection
is a characterful chromatic sensation.

‘AXOR CITTERIO SELECT’ TAP
by Antonio Citterio
A dab hand at making everyday functionality
beautiful, Antonio Citterio has been working
since 2005 with luxury bathroom specialist
Axor, a brand that adheres to the adage ‘form
follows perfection’. Available in a stainless
steel or chrome finish, this multi-talented
tap might just live up to the claim. It features
a spout that swivels 150 degrees, the ability
to pre-select the type of water flow (a strong
laminar flow or a softer shower spray), water
volume and temperature, and a ‘pull-out
spout’ option to connect a shower hose.

‘BOX CENTRE’ SINK
by Franke
For more than a century, Swiss brand Franke
has been carving its niche in the market
for innovative kitchen solutions. Whether
you are rinsing, mincing, straining or
draining, its new, fully accessorised stainless
steel ‘Box Centre’ sink features seven
components in one, without compromising
on aesthetic charm. Designed to be used
over the main sink, and to be neatly stored
away in the smaller second bowl, accessories
include three professional knives, two
chopping boards, a wooden knife block, a
stainless steel strainer bowl and a smart wine
rack that doubles as a drainer rack. Ideal
for those with a shortage of culinary space.
