Swedish brand Nordiska Kök, long admired for its timeless kitchens and meticulous craftsmanship, is expanding its vision beyond the heart of the home. The company now offers bespoke interiors for the entire house — from bathroom vanities and wardrobes to storage and custom carpentry — all designed and built in its carpentry studio in Gräfsnäs, Sweden.
The concept has been unveiled in one of Sweden’s most notable houses, Pine Edge Villa, featured on Grand Designs Sweden. Designed by architect Max Holst for magician Jonas Ljung and his family, the villa draws inspiration from the Case Study houses that redefined residential architecture in post-war America. With its concrete and wood exterior, expansive glazing, and dramatic site set amongst tall pines, the home embodies minimalism, restraint, and a deep connection to nature.
For this modernist home, Nordiska Kök designed and crafted the entire interior in dark oak. The kitchen, bathrooms, walk-in closet, wardrobes, storage solutions, and a custom-designed living room shelf were all designed as a cohesive whole. The result is an interior that merges seamlessly with the architectural expression, where minimalism, natural materials, and a consistent aesthetic form the guiding principles.
“We have long noticed a growing interest from both architects and homeowners in interiors that feel cohesive throughout the home. Extending our bespoke approach beyond the kitchen is a natural next step, always maintaining the same uncompromising quality,”
— Johan Lundkvist, Founder and Creative Director at Nordiska Kök.
Inside the villa, hand-finished oak recurs in every room, its warmth echoing the tones of the surrounding landscape. Combined with concrete, limestone, and glass, the palette is deliberately restrained, allowing light, materiality, and views of nature to take centre stage. Each detail — from the thoughtfully designed storage in the kitchen and bathrooms to the custom-built walk-in closet in the bedroom — integrates seamlessly with the architecture, reflecting Nordiska Kök’s philosophy of craft and continuity.
The project illustrates the brand’s natural evolution from kitchens to full-scale home interiors. What began with a singular focus on refined, sustainable kitchens now extends into every corner of the home, offering architectural partners and homeowners the opportunity to create interiors defined by cohesion, craftsmanship, and timeless Scandinavian design.
