Softly Spoken Design

This design is simple but it manages to ignite our human curiosity with things that look a little peculiar. We may question why the island looks off set, asymmetrically unbalanced and wonder why we find it interesting? A closer examination of the design satisfies our inquisitive nature as we discover some crafty functionality integrated into this monolithic configuration!

Ornate detailing can be exquisite, showcasing flamboyant flair and inherited craftsmanship but simple shapes can be equally inspiring. The simplicity of this island takes centre stage surrounded by an architecturally embedded and arguably impotent kitchen backdrop. It is interesting that the mirrored panels around the oven housing reflect the island, allowing its influence to resonate throughout the architecture.

Sometimes softly spoken words can deliver tremendous consequences. The same can be said of this 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!
