More Colourful than a Clive!

This kitchen certainly has some personality with strong colours creating a flamboyant picture upon a template that has been tried and tested.

The overall backbone of this kitchen design is safe and traditional with the creators using square raised panelled doors and thick set fluted posts with ornate leafy features. The foundation could be considered to be fussy resembling something from the hand of Clive Christian. But this design is much more dramatic and left wing!

This hand painted kitchen is alive with colour which has been chosen from a palette individual to the client. This kitchen is a commissioned piece of art.

It is important for a client to feel comfortable with their choices and it amazes The Mogul how the diverse nature of the human soul can pull and skew basic design concepts and make them endlessly personal. It is this personal element that drives kitchen design, allowing ideas to merge, and allowing the client to create a functional space that they admire and will feel comfortable with for many years to come.

This design is very subtle but it certainly straddles the divide between contemporary and modern. The Mogul appreciates the individual idiosyncrasies in 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!

Functional Fabric

The modern kitchen has become an iconic symbol of fashionable style. It is therefore appropriate that kitchen designers should now keep their eye firmly fixed on the latest textiles and fabrics to grace the runways of Europe especially now that fabric doors can be specified in their next kitchen design! The Meccanica Kitchen by Valcucine evaporates the traditional rigidity of kitchen installation by using an innovative frame work system that can be transported easily, can be assembled by the end user and is 100% recyclable. It even comes with an end of life cycle “take back guarantee” whereby your old kitchen will be collected, sand blasted and re-coated so that it can re-enter the production cycle! Oh yea and did The Mogul mention that the doors are fabric!! The Mogul knows that this is going to be a huge hit with the more Eco conscious inhabitants of the planet as the concept dramatically reduces the carbon footprint of a kitchen. But for those whose carbon footpr
