From cooking to connecting

With a little creativity, your shared kitchen can do it all. By day, it’s practical and efficient. By night, it becomes a warm, social space to cook and connect.

A kitchen made for sharing

Simple, affordable tweaks make your shared kitchen more guest-friendly. Stackable IBBARBO stools save space, and a sofa adds comfort and extra dining seating.

Take stock of what you already have. By reusing and combining pieces with creativity, you can create a kitchen that’s practical, personal and works for everyone.

More connection, less perfection

Co-living is about everyone bringing something to the table. Push tables together to create a shared space for study, games or meals, together but on your own terms.

Smart storage for communal cooking

Need more space in your shared kitchen? KUNGSFORS rails and hooks utilise wall space for storage, while shelves and trolleys, such as NISSAFORS, help keep everyone's essentials organised, mobile, and easy to tuck away for a tidy, functional setup.

The best parties happen in the kitchen

Cleaning up may not be the most enjoyable part of a dinner party, but it’s often where the best conversations happen. Late-night dishwashing together brings laughter, connection and a sense of shared joy that makes the evening feel complete.
