REKKER presents its proposal for kitchen islands and breakfast bars, a solution that combines design, functionality and versatility. With materials such as porcelain and quartz, its projects offer durability and style for any space. The islands, accessible from all four sides, become the epicentre of the home, while the breakfast bars integrate order and practicality with innovative systems. Each piece is designed to adapt to the needs of modern life, turning the kitchen into a unique and multifunctional space.

The functional heart of your home: The kitchen island

A kitchen with an island is the dream of many. Traditionally associated with luxurious and spacious homes, today it is not necessary to have large dimensions to enjoy the aesthetic and practical benefits that it offers. Beyond being a design element, the kitchen island provides organization and functionality, adapting to different styles and needs.

Considering that the kitchen is the place where we spend the most time at home, it is key that it is functional. Good fluidity of movement, ease of use and an attractive design These are some of the features that make it so desirable. In addition, its design, accessible from all four sides, makes it easy to work and store in a single space.

According to Xavier Castile, CEO of REKKER, “Taking advantage of the central space with an island kitchen is the best way to make the most of the room. Being an isolated module, which has four free sides, it offers unique versatility”. This approach turns kitchen islands into the heart of the home, a space that combines aesthetics, functionality and the possibility of sharing unique moments.

Multitasking island: The key to open concept in modern kitchens

Open concept kitchen design and the incorporation of islands are closely related. By removing walls and divisions, a space is created that integrates the dining room and kitchen in a fluid manner, encouraging interaction and full use of the area. Islands, which began as a trend, are today an essential and distinctive element, bringing functionality and style to any project.

“The kitchen has always been the heart of the home, but the island transforms it into something more: it is the epicenter of daily interaction and coexistence.", points Xavier Castile, CEO of REKKER. This multitasking space not only expands the work area, but also becomes a place for breakfasts, family gatherings or celebrations. It even allows children to do their homework while the adults cook. This versatility is what has made the kitchen island transcend its functional purpose and become the reference point where our best moments happen.

At REKKER, every project is designed with your needs in mind. Maximize functionality and aestheticsThe islands in the REKTO Collection, for example, combine a design accessible from all four sides with materials and finishes that optimise the use of space. Thanks to their adaptability, they become an ideal solution for the needs of modern life, offering a perfect balance between design, practicality and style.

Lighting and materials: Keys to a functional and aesthetic kitchen island

Lighting plays an essential role in the design of a kitchen with an island. It is important that the light highlights its role and provides a differentiating touch. Pendant lamps, which offer focused light, are an ideal option to highlight this central element. This proposal can be complemented with adjustable spotlights on the ceiling, which allow the intensity and direction to be adjusted according to the needs of each moment, offering versatile and functional lighting.

Materials and finishes are equally crucial to ensuring the aesthetics and durability of the island. As the centerpiece of the kitchen, the island is subject to continuous use, requiring materials that match style, durability and ease of maintenance. REKKER relies on high-quality materials, such as Inalco's porcelain and MDi, known for their resistance to impacts, high temperatures and scratches, as well as offering a wide range of designs and colours. Other options include marble, which provides timeless elegance; granite, for its robustness; and quartz, versatile and modern, with an almost infinite palette of shades.

"Each REKKER project seeks the perfect balance between design and functionality.", the firm assures. REKKER countertops, designed with natural textures or contemporary finishes, not only beautify the kitchen, but also make the island the true protagonist of the space. A well-lit island built with quality materials transforms the kitchen into a unique place, where aesthetics and practicality combine to improve everyday life.

Organization and functionality: The key to breakfast furniture

The breakfast bar furniture They are a practical and elegant solution that allows you to keep your kitchen organized and visually clean. They are designed to hold small appliances such as coffee makers, toasters and mixers, as well as cups, plates and utensils. They are, without a doubt, the ideal ally for the most important moments of the day.

The key to its functionality is to incorporate advanced opening systems. retractable door systems, which are hidden on the sides when opened, guarantee full access to the interior without taking up additional space. Another option is the Folding doors, which start at the height of the countertop, facilitating their integration into more compact kitchens.

In addition, this furniture includes a support surface with strategically placed sockets, allowing appliances to be used directly in place, eliminating the need to move them and improving daily functionality.

Innovation in design and use of space

To optimize the use of space, REKKER breakfast furniture incorporates a adaptable electrified systemThis innovative design allows you to add, remove or move sockets and peripherals as needed, adapting to both the furniture and the wall. This approach improves not only the visual order, but also everyday functionality.

At the bottom, it is recommended removable drawers or shelves instead of fixed shelves. These solutions make the most of the standard depth of 60 cm, making stored items more accessible and practical.

“At REKKER we design each piece with the aim of offering a personalized, functional product in harmony with the needs of each home”With a wide variety of finishes and colours, REKKER furniture not only beautifies the kitchen, but represents a evolution in modern kitchen design, improving the way we live and share our spaces.
