| Hansen Kitchen introduces its eco-friendly "Living Kitchen Architecture" |
| Designed by Danish Architect, Knud Kapper, MAA, MDD, this beautiful, solid wood, kitchen is an eco friendly, product made of solid wood, from managed forests,and is available in plantation-teak, walnut, ash, and oak. The oil or soap finishes used are an all natural wood treatment, based on renewable plant materials. The finishes are environmentally and ecologically friendly and completely recyclable |


| Kapper has, over the years, collaborated with top professional chefs and has listened to their comments and recommendations on creating healthy ways to store common kitchen items. Kapper's innovative design of perforated steel bottoms in his drawers for fresh airflow, the ergonomic use of drawers with hand cuts, less upper cabinetry to feel more "free" in the cooking process, and tobe able to thoroughly clean all around the cabinetry are just a few of the intelligent concepts designed into Hansen kitchens. |
| "Bring it into your home, make the mechanical connections, and cook the same day. It's 100% eco friendly timber. It lasts. The eco-oiled surface needs a minimum of maintenance. It is designed and made in the Denmark. The walnut timber is sustainably harvested in the U.S. All other woods are from managed forests." Hansen Kitchens - “Instant Kitchens” are perfect for: small homes and apartments, kitchen islands, pool houses, guest houses and suites. |

| Hansen kitchens are available in standard sizes and prices, and are fully customizable as well. Hansen Kitchen Architecture fits beautifully, in an organically connected way, into a large suburban kitchen or tiny city apartment (“Instant Kitchen”). Formal, informal, or modern home – Hansen’s timeless style and simple, yet elegant, design details, transcend the word “trend,” an important sustainable design philosophy. Hansen’s details…the strong, yet beautiful, finger joints in the corners, the squared or rounded hand cutouts, the precision joinery of all wood pieces, smooth drawer glides, are examples of a well thought through design concept. |
