Layer
Layer is a study in calm and precision. A cabinetmaker’s kitchen where architectural clarity and sensory materials meet in a vertical story of form, rhythm, and direction. The vertical grain pattern reveals the wood’s natural flow – uninterrupted and upward-reaching, giving the kitchen a graphic, almost sculptural expression.
Stripped of all that’s not essential. There are no visible joints, no plinth, no handles – only clean surfaces, continuous lines, and the vertical design gesture that gives Layer its name and character. Behind the stringent front, the kitchen unfolds in layers: layers of function, of refinement, of details revealed only in use.
Here, the craftsmanship emerges in the hidden, in drawers, transitions, and inner structures, where precision speaks for itself.
Layer is a reinterpretation of the Nordic kitchen, with aesthetic consistency and natural lightness that balance external calm with internal depth.
Layer – Graphic calm with depth
With its stringent design language and vertical grain pattern, Layer captures a different side of Garde Hvalsøe’s design philosophy. The graphic expression creates a natural rhythm and visual lightness, allowing the wood’s grain to unfold undisturbed in its full height.
Layer can be built with three drawers in height – always as part of a tailored solution shaped by the space, the architecture, and the way of life it is meant to support. Each kitchen is formed in layers, with hidden details and precise cabinetmaker’s solutions that reveal themselves through daily use.

Layer is a luxury kitchen where graphic clarity, function, and refinement come together in a composition that holds both depth and lightness.
The uncompromising approach extends beyond the visible, ensuring an expression that ages with grace, where the craftsmanship behind the front retains its strength and beauty for generations.
Choose the perfect countertop for you
Layer offers a selection of countertops that emphasise the kitchen’s graphic expression and vertical rhythm, from solid wood with vibrant grain patterns to cool stone surfaces and precise metallic tones.
The choice of countertop adds depth and contrast, allowing Layer to be refined in either a warm or more restrained direction, always with the material’s tactility at the centre.
