We invented it in 1998

The Sociable Kitchen®

Welcome to the enchanting world of The Sociable Kitchen®! Our passion for revolutionising the kitchen industry has led to groundbreaking ideas and products, all inspired by the real-life experiences of people in their kitchens.

In 1998, we unveiled the concept of The Sociable Kitchen®, a trademarked idea that was so transformative, it found its way into the Danish dictionary! At its core, this philosophy revolves around creating a space where the kitchen becomes the vibrant heart of the home. It's the ultimate gathering spot for cooking, laughter, deep conversations, and everything in between.

The Sociable Kitchen® invites you to enjoy life's simple pleasures - whether it's sipping coffee, reading a book, playing games, or dancing to your favourite playlist (or one of ours) as you cook up culinary delights. This is where everyday moments become extraordinary, and weekends transform into magical experiences. It's the space where everyone wants to be, sharing life's ups and downs and creating memories to treasure forever.

Are you ready to discover the captivating charm of The Sociable Kitchen® and turn your home into a haven of togetherness and joy? Dive in and let the adventure begin!

The best place to plan a Sociable Kitchen® is in your home.

When you book a Kvik Home meeting, one of our kitchen experts comes to your house to start planning your dream kitchen. By being physically in the room that is the center of your life, we can plan the best possible solutions for a kitchen filled with sociable moments.

We may have invented it — but you make it your own.

Since 1998, the world has evolved, and our daily lives have too. Amidst the hustle and bustle of modern living, the kitchen must cater to an increasingly diverse array of needs. While one person cooks, another responds to emails, a teenager lounges with their smartphone, and a younger sibling tackles homework at the table.

But despite our unique lifestyles and preferences, one constant remains - the kitchen is where we all come together. We crave a sanctuary from the chaos, a place to unwind, connect, and spark meaningful conversations. The Sociable Kitchen® continues to be that cherished haven, the space where everyone yearns to be.

The Sociable Kitchen® is not a physical product, but a philosophy for designing kitchens so they fit into people's lives — today and tomorrow.

Not just an island.

The Sociable Kitchen® goes beyond just the kitchen island — it's about fostering connections in every possible way. While a true Sociable Kitchen® features a sink that faces the room, this setup can be adapted to fit various layouts, be it a peninsula or a horseshoe kitchen.

Even if space is limited, you can infuse your kitchen with sociable elements. Consider adding a seat at the counter's end for homework sessions or friendly catch-ups over a glass of wine. Alternatively, create a cozy nook with a couch or lounge area where loved ones can gather while you work your culinary magic.

To craft your perfect Sociable Kitchen®, look no further than your own home. Schedule a meeting with one of our kitchen experts, who will come to you and help bring your dream kitchen to life.
