The Ruling Kitchen


This design by TM Italia is edgy and fresh.  There is absolutely no credence given to the power of human expectation; and the ancestry of kitchen design is celebrated by having another notch taken out of the evolutionary bedpost!

This concept is an embodiment of how powerful the discipline of kitchen design has become!   The kitchen sits proudly in an open plan position of authority, satisfied in the knowledge that the rules of its inception are obeyed by both architecture and interior design.

The “L” shaped supporting wall and tiled effects give the design a strange and yet catchy hook; it is almost as if this kitchen is not satisfied by having the entire living space bow to its position, but it also wants to invite the bathroom out to play! 

There is a strange and yet intriguing mix here that allows this design to step beyond the norm.  The Mogul approves!

Think about it!

Style Peacemaker

To mediate is to broker agreement and here we see a kitchen becoming a style peacemaker.   The industrial architecture sets the contemporary scene aptly aided by the exposed ventilation system which has been laid bare through the calculating incisions made by an architect’s drafting pen.   Light is allowed to penetrate and contradict the industrial space through more classically styled windows, casting shadows that have been polluted by the traditional influence of Georgian frames. The kitchens detachment from the floor is aesthetically powerful but it also shows how we have become scientific in our approach to functional furniture design.   We have learned that it is difficult to reach things at floor level while standing up straight!   The introduction of layers, shapes and warm light helps to soften the surroundings without confusing the picture.   It can be argued that the kitchen designer has been sensitive to the architecture while providing a ...

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!
