Reflect, by Jean Nouvel
Reform collaborated with the Pritzker Prize–win-ning architect to develop this modular kitchen system that includes such elements as islands and wall cabinets. The fronts are made of thin, stainless-steel sheeting—embossed with vertical micro-ridges—fused to MFC board and framed by extruded anodized-aluminum profiles. An alternative black finish is also available. Both options are high-gloss with subtly reflective surfaces.
