Corner is always looking for ways to refine modern kitchen design, drawing inspiration from the Scandinavian aesthetic and adapting it for a broader audience. Our latest collection Recess embodies this approach. We’ve placed recessed rectangular handles at the center of our kitchen cabinet designs, creating a cohesive, minimalist look.
"We noticed a growing interest in this style of cabinetry and wanted to develop a concept where recessed handles weren’t just a functional feature but a defining design element," says Konstantin, co-founder of Corner.
Thoughtful Design Meets Everyday Functionality
Recess embodies the core principles of Scandinavian kitchen design: simplicity and functionality. The cabinet fronts are made of Fenix NTM, a next-generation acrylic resin known for its ultra-matte surface, soft feel, and fingerprint resistance. Recessed cutouts feature curved edges that soften the design and balance the clean lines.
"We wanted to create a tactile contrast while maintaining the kitchen’s warm, natural aesthetic," says Yuliia, co-founder of Corner. "That’s why we highlighted the exposed edges of the plywood—they add an organic, handmade feel that complements the minimalism."
Designed for Modern Living
Beyond aesthetics, Recess is designed for practicality. The island features six spacious drawers that maximize storage without compromising the kitchen’s design. A thoughtfully designed pantry includes specialized shelving and built-in cabinets to keep appliances out of sight, ensuring uncluttered work surfaces.
Corner has always been committed to bringing the best of Scandinavian style—particularly Danish minimalism—to modern homes.
"Scandinavian kitchens prioritize comfort and ease of use," says Yuliia. "We've seen a growing demand for these qualities in the U.S., Europe, and beyond, and we're excited to bring them to a wider audience."
A Cohesive and Timeless Aesthetic
Recess refines Scandinavian minimalism with subtle yet thoughtful details. The recessed handles, through their shape and tactile appeal, define the unique character of the entire kitchen collection.
"The recessed handle is what gives Recess its individuality. It's a detail you see, touch, and interact with daily, " says Konstantin.
Recess is available in three exquisite Fenix NTM colors:
- Bianco Male – a crisp, clean white.
- Grigio Bromo – a deep charcoal blue.
- Verde Kitami – a muted, light green.
This carefully curated palette allows you to create a timeless, cohesive look that seamlessly fits into any modern home.
Recess is a testament to our belief that great design is both beautiful and functional. Explore the collection and discover the next evolution of Scandinavian-style kitchens.
