Koncis Roasting Pans
“I like cooking a lot. At school, I was all for becoming a chef. Then came carpentry. But my daughter became a chef, and she's much better than I am. It's been in our family all the time, that curiosity in food. I have some pro-level metal pans, but all of my other ones are our Koncis metal trays. I use them for everything, even for preparing food, and you have different sizes.”
Customized Faktum Kitchen System
“The house where I'm living, I moved in 20 years ago now or more. I put in this kitchen from Ikea, and still have it. Then it was Faktum, now it's Metod. But I'm also a carpenter, so my kitchen island is kind of made by me, but it has Ikea cabinets in it. Also [underneath the wall units] I built in a frame with open compartments, so that's my own addition. I also sanded all the doors and hand-painted them, because my house is very imperfect, so the [factory] perfect industrial lacquer, which is really nice and high quality, just contrasted a little bit too much.”
“In over 20 years, I have one hinge on the door under the sink that is starting to come loose, but I can easily fix that. I just haven't gotten around to it. Otherwise, everything works perfectly well. The kitchen is in use all the time, so that's quality.”
Ejdemo customized his Faktum kitchen with extra storage, as well as his “party ready” kitchen island with a well-used Bekväm step stool and Norbo folding table. Courtesy of Johan Ejdemo
Norbo Folding Table
“I have this little Norbo folding table. [It’s no longer available, but it’s similar to the Norberg.] It just fits perfectly at the end of my kitchen island. I'm not so picky about having exactly the same woods in a room. I have a mix of wood. I like wood. If it's oak or walnut or rosewood or beach or pine, it doesn't really matter. Just to have that little extra serving space. When it's Christmas or Easter or a party, this one goes up and transforms the space a little bit.”
