In 2026, REKKER solidified its presence on the international design scene after receiving two of the industry's most prestigious awards: the iF DESIGN AWARD and the Red Dot Award. The Catalan firm earned both accolades with GINA35, a kitchen that encapsulates its approach to design through proportion, materiality, and construction precision, reinforcing a vision where the kitchen seamlessly integrates into the domestic architecture.
GINA35 and the origin of its own language
The international recognition of GINA35 marks a turning point for REKKER, following the success of its outdoor kitchen, THE ROK, in 2024. This time, the distinction focuses on its line of indoor kitchens, reaffirming a trajectory where design, carpentry, and detail form part of a single identity. The kitchen is interpreted as an architectural element within the domestic space , maintaining a serene and profoundly contemporary aesthetic.
The name GINA35 comes from its main structural element: 35 mm thick fronts and doors. From this measurement, a whole proportional system is developed where legs, sides, and joints correspond to exact multiples of this dimension. This mathematical coherence translates into visual balance and spatial harmony , creating a uniform and natural perception throughout the composition.
The collection features clean lines, softened edges, and curved junctions that allow the kitchen to integrate seamlessly into the interior architecture. The continuity of materials and proportions creates a sense of order and visual fluidity that reinforces the elegant and timeless character of the project. Every detail is designed to blend into the overall design , maintaining a balance between architectural presence and everyday functionality.
Technology, craft and material sensitivity
One of the most recognizable aspects of GINA35 is the dialogue between craftsmanship and technology. The combination of natural wood worked with traditional techniques such as dovetail joints coexists with high-tech surfaces like Inalco's MDi. The duality between industrial innovation and artisanal skill defines the character of the collection , bringing material depth and constructive precision to the kitchen space.
The design cultivates a restrained aesthetic where materials take center stage through texture, proportion, and visual continuity. Natural surfaces, curved lines, and the warmth of wood create balanced and serene environments, designed to seamlessly integrate with the existing domestic architecture. The kitchen becomes a natural extension of the living space , moving beyond purely functional or technical solutions.
During the iF DESIGN AWARD ceremony held in Berlin, Javier Castilla, CEO and product director of REKKER, emphasized the emotional value of this recognition and the work carried out by the entire team. The award also serves as a tribute to the career path initiated by Ángel Castilla and a way of working based on high standards, sensitivity, and constant attention to detail. This international recognition validates an honest approach to design and craftsmanship.
A path built on coherence
Beyond the awards, this double international recognition reinforces REKKER's evolution within contemporary design. The company maintains an identity linked to craftsmanship, technical innovation, and the development of customizable solutions capable of responding to different lifestyles and architectural styles. The coherence between design, manufacturing, and materials is an essential part of the brand's DNA.
With over 30 years of experience, REKKER continues to develop its own unique style, where industrial precision and handcrafted finishes coexist within the same production process. From its factory in Bigues i Riells, Barcelona, the company combines advanced technology and artisanal craftsmanship to create kitchens designed with durability, functionality, and contemporary style in mind. Quality and attention to detail remain the starting point for every project.
Through GINA35, REKKER reinforces a vision of the kitchen as domestic architecture, where materials, proportions, and aesthetic sensibility create spaces designed to last. The endorsement of international awards such as the iF DESIGN AWARD and the Red Dot Award confirms a trajectory based on consistency, evolution, and the value of quality craftsmanship.
