Bamboo that doesn’t appear to be bamboo: That’s what you’ll discover from Ask og Eng, the Olso, Norway-based kitchen firm that first began making fronts for Ikea cupboards and have since expanded to completely customized kitchens.
A couple of years again we featured the kitchen of Ask og Eng’s founders, couple Kine Ask Stenersen and Kristoffer Eng, who renovated their Nineteen Thirties picket home in Drammen, Norway, by eradicating partitions, upgrading home windows and doorways, and exposing an unique pine ground. With their bamboo kitchens, Stenersen and Eng supply uncooked materials from licensed farms the place bamboo, a fast-growing grass, is produced sustainably and responsibly. Right here’s a take a look at the main points of their kitchen, past simply the cupboards, that make it such a covetous look.
