This bright kitchen belongs to two leaders of the style pack in Denmark: Frederik Bille Brahe is the chef-owner of Atelier September and Apollo Bar and Kantine, all of which we\u2019ve spotlighted. Caroline Brasch Nielsen (who also goes by Bille Brahe) is one of the world\u2019s leading fashion models and has her own clothing line, Caro Editions. Their wedding was chronicled in American Vogue\u2014<\/em>Helena Christensen was a bridesmaid\u2014and the couple now have two young kids.<\/p>\n

They live with an easy flair, as evidenced by every inch of their quarters on the top floor of a 17th-century house in the heart of Copenhagen. Come have a look at their center of action.<\/p>\n

Above: The couple describe the kitchen as \u201cDonald Judd meets Ellsworth Kelly\u2014living in a
\n
centuries-old house made us hunger for something contemporary and efficient.\u201d The cabinets are composed of Ikea components fronted with vibrant doors from Reform\u2019s Match design by Muller Van Severen. <\/p>\n

The white porcelain wall fixtures with half-chrome bulbs are from THPG of Germany.<\/p>\n


Above: The countertop is stainless steel and the matte brass faucet is the Fusion design from Quooker. <\/p>\n

The cabinet doors are composed of HDPE (high density polyethylene) and come in six colors that can be mixed and matched as desired. Reform is based in Denmark and has showrooms in Brooklyn and LA, among other places. The company specializes in offering upgrades for Ikea cabinets, but also makes its own cabinet line.<\/p>\n


Above: In addition to cooking just about all of the family\u2019s meals here, Bille Brahe experiments with recipes. The juicer is the Frieling Citrus Press. The Japanese-designed SANAA Armless Chair with rabbit ears is available from Maruni.,

Above: Like most chefs, Bille Brahe likes to keep tools and everyday dishes within easy reach.
\n

Above: The metal open shelves are much like Vitsoe\u2019s 606 Universal Shelving System.
\n

Above: The apartment\u2019s exposed beams are original. The cooktop is an induction model with an integrated vent from Gaggenau. The dishwasher is situated to the left of the sink, behind the peach-colored cabinet.

Above: A serving idea worth borrowing.,

Above: The dining chairs are B\u00f8rge Mogensen\u2019s J39 design, which has been in continuous production since 1947. \u201cWe wanted the kitchen to be practical and functional for everyday use,\u201d the couple say, noting that they kept the  space open \u201cso our kids can dance and play here, and naturally
\n
become a part of the cooking.\u201d

Above: The upholstered bench is akin to the Danish classic PK80 Daybed by Poul Kj\u00e6rholm.
\n

Above: \u201cFor Fred, the kitchen is his office,\u201d says Brasch Nielsen. \u201cHe uses it for making recipes and sometimes working on the computer. It\u2019s also a nice spot to have a drink when we have guests.\u201d The hanging light is a vintage PH Snowball Kontrast Pendant Lamp by Louis Poulsen.
