Kitchen specialist Mk-tre goes beyond cookie-cutter designs to create bespoke kitchens that refl ect the needs and personalities of their owners.
In the competitive field of luxury kitchen design, Mk-tre distinguishes itself by defying run-of-the-mill solutions to give clients a personalised kitchen that truly meets their needs. Mk-tre was founded in 2016 by director Mahmud Karim, who has more than two decades of experience in the industry and currently oversees two offices in Singapore and Malaysia. Over the years, Mahmud has developed a strong understanding of what it takes to craft a bespoke kitchen that stands the test of time—a savoir faire that he has deepened by working closely with renowned European kitchen brands including Bulthaup, Effeti Cucine, Eggersmann, Poggenpohl, Rational and Schiffini.
After working as a general manager for a kitchen purveyor, Mahmud decided to open a firm of his own after observing a repeated scenario: clients he had served would contact him personally for a new kitchen design, instead of reaching out to the showroom. “They didn’t just want a ready-made solution; they wanted someone who could personally realise what they liked and needed,” shares Mahmud. He has built a loyal following throughout the years, with socialites, highflying executives and members of royalty among his regular clientele.
