- About Us
With a proud history and lasting approach, Hamran creates kitchens that stand the test of time. Traditional techniques and modern innovation are combined to create functional and durable kitchens that become a part of the family's history for many years.
Durability and Aesthetics
Wood is a living material that ages beautifully, and when the customer can be involved throughout the entire process – from sketch to final result – we can together build something that brings joy for many, many years. By building something durable, we simultaneously avoid unnecessary logging, thus reducing the ecological footprint. A kitchen or interior from Hamran is meant to last, perhaps for generations.
We experience wood materials as naturally beautiful in themselves and want to use the entire tree. This has an environmental objective, but also an aesthetic one. Each piece of wood has its story; growth rings, color nuances, and marks after knots breathe life into the finished result and bring nature into the home or workplace. The variation, the irregularity of the wood makes it unique, offering different possibilities than man-made materials, both tactile and visually.
Customization through dialogue
At Hamran, we take the time to discuss with the customer about design, material choices, and adjustments to existing rooms. Through mutual idea exchange, we determine how to best combine the practical with the aesthetic. The choice of solutions and materials will ultimately be up to the customer, but we are happy to provide qualified advice throughout the process and will do our best to accommodate any request. Everyone is welcome to visit us at Snartemo, where you can see and feel the materials, get a glimpse of how we work, and experience how ideas take shape. Please contact in advance to schedule a visit.
