Where do you want the Fridge?


This is a luxurious space which has been enhanced through the introduction of a “shape shifting" kitchen.  This kitchen is designed to have its functionality neutralised when placed in a standby position, only to be revealed when the sliding panels move across the open shelf unit. 
The use of open shelves in a contrasting colour tilts this design towards contemporary living room furniture and the designer has been careful to add the same contrasting feature into the island adding continuity to the design. 
This is a great example of how good kitchen designers are considering how the kitchen, in an open plan space, can be the backdrop to our home lives.
However, The Mogul wonders about the two American style fridge freezers that are positioned along the left hand wall.  Their presence compromises the overall concept and it could strongly be argued that other options should have been considered!

  1. Ugh. The description "American-style" fills me with shame. And I agree with you, the inclusion of those appliances throws the whole design.

Functional Thinking

Purity is a desirable attribute especially if used to disguise complexity!  This design manages to encourage a lingering desire to admire, the type of art gallery presence that demands quiet contemplation to fully appreciate.  By cleverly layering simple linear forms and combining a reserved colour palette this under stated design could be considered a masterpiece of functional thinking! Think about it!

Functional Revolution Through Artistic Evolution

  Amongst the chaos there is order! And here we see a vibrant mix of functional art that inspires the onlooker to delve deeper into this design and realise the complex levels of thought that have inspired such a flagrant disregard for convention. Excitement can be conjured by the exotic, and this design by Gitta Gschwendtner for Schiffini floats the notion that functionality can become an artistic experiment.   To some this may just be a series of boxes but to others this could be seen as an attempt to deliver a functional revolution through artistic evolution. The Mogul approves!

Celestial Island Cluster

Managing to understand and control proportion whilst delivering exemplary functional performance and unrivalled aesthetic impact is a skill which kitchen designers continually hone. Sitting majestically in the centre of the room this island cluster presents itself like an elevated alter of style complete with a ceiling drop that can deliver celestial messages direct to the Gods of design! Soft approachable geometry and the precise sightline and functional arrangement ensure that the impressive architectural scaling must cower down in the presence of this functional master piece. An island is one thing, but if you have enough space why don’t you let your imagination explore the endless possibilities of multi-island arrangements. The Mogul Approves!
