Here comes another product collaboration between famous architects and affordable-brand giants. Pretty soon, consumers worldwide can add a hint of BIG, Henning Larsen Architects, or NORM Architects into their everyday kitchen space. Danish furniture brand Reform, whose concept focuses on hacking IKEA kitchen-cabinet fronts with their own customized designs, collaborated with the big-name architects in envisioning the new collection of kitchen cabinets. The kitchens will make their public debut at the northmodern trade show on August 13-15 and will be on sale starting September 1 (promotional video below).
The cabinets already have the on-trend sleekness and minimalism down, but stamping on the names of famous architecture firms ups the chic factor effortlessly. The cabinets by the one and only Bjarke Ingels Group — who is no stranger to designing home products — are available in white and oak or stainless steel, with a composite table top and composite wash. The cabinets come with handles made of seatbelt material for that touch of stylish idiosyncrasy.

Henning Larsen Architects' design goes for a timeless, classic-carpentry vibe by balancing warm and cold tones and materials that are derived from the firm's "strong roots in the Scandinavian tradition of design". The cabinets come in oak veneer accented with shiny copper strips as well as in a monochromatic spray-painted white or black.

On the other hand, Norm Architects incorporated simple but expressively raw materials that are considered unusual for kitchen design. Their handle-free cabinets were designed in four combinations: fiber-reinforced concrete, bronzed tombac, oak sawn veneer, and smoked oak.
