Design your own outdoor kitchen

An Outdoor Kitchen After Your Heart

Summer living reaches its most refined expression when the kitchen moves outdoors. Even in Denmark, an outdoor kitchen is not only feasible—it is a natural extension of modern life under open skies, particularly when crafted with Morsø’s enduring cast-iron designs.

The key lies in intention. An outdoor kitchen should reflect personal rituals and preferences: a pared-back solution that celebrates simplicity and ease, or a fully realised culinary space complete with generous work surfaces, sheltering pergolas and running water. Whatever the vision, the goal remains the same—to create a place where design, function and atmosphere coexist effortlessly.

Morsø’s complete Forno assembly exemplifies this philosophy. Elegant yet robust, it stands as a sculptural focal point on a terrace or in a garden, seamlessly aligned with the brand’s modern outdoor living concept. It is a solution that feels both understated and luxurious—proof that sophistication often lies in simplicity.

Outdoor Kitchen by Morsø

Morsø’s outdoor kitchen opens up a world of culinary possibilities. From wood-fired pizzas and slow-roasted lamb to fresh salmon and indulgent desserts, the Forno transforms outdoor cooking into an immersive summer experience. The warm glow of fire, the tactile presence of cast iron and the scent of food carried on a light breeze all contribute to an atmosphere that invites lingering.

To elevate this experience further, Morsø collaborates with acclaimed Danish chef Gorm Wisweh, who brings gourmet inspiration to outdoor cooking through innovative recipes designed specifically for the barbecue and the iconic Forno oven.

True to its heritage, Morsø also partners with distinguished designers. The Forno assembly was developed in close collaboration with product designer Klaus Rath, whose approach balances rigorous functionality with refined aesthetics. The result is a distinctive outdoor kitchen that enhances terraces and gardens alike—designed for living well outdoors, just as life was meant to be lived.

Preparing Summer Meals Together, Outdoors

While the barbecue season traditionally begins in spring, it now stretches deep into summer and beyond. Outdoor life has become an integral part of everyday living, and cooking outside is no longer reserved for special occasions. In fact, Denmark ranks among the world’s most enthusiastic barbecuing nations, where informal meals replace rigid schedules and make room for spontaneity, relaxation and shared pleasure.

Historically, outdoor cooking often meant one person tending the grill while others remained indoors. The outdoor kitchen changes this dynamic entirely. It invites everyone—family and friends alike—to gather, prepare and cook together in the open air. Glasses clink, conversations unfold, and the boundaries between cooking, dining and socialising dissolve.

An outdoor kitchen is more than a place to prepare food. It is a summer stage for togetherness, creativity and unhurried enjoyment—where design enhances life, and life is lived outdoors.
