In the design of her single-story dream house outside of Copenhagen, 80-year-old Frida called on firm Entasis to realize her vision. The clean and modern kitchen, at its core, is supplied by Danish studio Stillark and accented with colorful glassware, simple lighting, and wood furniture. Here’s our profile of the key elements to recreate the look.
