Rëkoøk is a modular kitchen system designed for the digital nomad lifestyle. The system is modeled after IKEA's iconic furniture style and allows users to bring the setup anywhere work takes them.
The portable kitchen concept allows digital nomads to feel the comforts of home wherever they might be. The set can be flat-packed to easily transport it from one place to another. In addition, digital nomads can configure their Rëkoøk to fit their specific culinary and spatial requirements. The idea behind the design was to "create a kitchen that respected the rule of the three R's: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle and [one] that was easy and quick to assemble." Once the Rëkoøk is set up, users only need to attach the kitchen sink to a water supply for full functionality.
