Last year we featured the first kitchen design project from Swedish concept shop Artilleriet. They have since introduced their A Colori kitchen, the “colorful evolution and sibling” to their first, also made in collaboration with furniture makers Tre Sekel. Inspired by historic painted cook spaces and the workhorse kitchens of ancient castles, the A Colori kitchen pairs classical with modern. Here’s a closer look.
Above: The kitchen is built in solid wood that’s painted on the exterior and left natural on the interior. Drawers are made with dovetail joints and drawer interiors are finished with leather sourced from Swedish leather house Tärnsjö Garveri, among other options. The kitchen is styled here with various items sourced at Artilleriet: Spruzzi Vivente Collection brown splatterware, the Layered Berry Rain Rug, and the De La Espada Solo Oblong Dining Table in Oiled Oak.
Above: The components are designed and manufactured in Sweden without the use of metal boxes, plastic, or wood fiber boards. “No details need to be hidden behind a façade of fronts and covers, which is unusual in kitchen design today,” according to Artilleriet. Styled on the shelves here are the Medium White Food Cover, the Antelop Flora Tray, the Bordallo Pinheiro Cabbage Cheese Tray, and the Serax Nomade Salad Bowl.
Above: Weighty cabinet hardware by way of solid brass knobs is designed for the A Colori kitchen.
Above: The sconce is the Workstead House Wall Lamp in brass. Placed up against the wall for decor is the Caravane Iron Tray Lac.
Above: The centerpiece of the A Colori kitchen is the island table, a design inspired by historic castle kitchens. Induction cookers with built-in fans can be integrated into the island table, as seen here.
Above: Traditional brass taps are paired with a small square copper kitchen sink. A stack of blue Hay Sobremesa Serving Bowls stand behind the sink; the towel is the Drapeau Dish Towel.
Above: Each kitchen is unique, with a variety of paint colors, appliances, faucets, and other details on offer. Standing in front of the custom cabinetry here is the Tre Sekel Carl Malmsted Skedblad Oak Chair.
