Kitchen Design 2011

In 2011 we will see the kitchen becoming accepted as the defining feature of the surrounding architecture; all inspiring, with the ability to encourage a connection between concrete, steel and the personal attitudes that animate the space on a daily basis!

Architecture is the purest form of art but kitchen design is an understanding of how human nature and personal experiences can paint many different pictures within this architectural frame.

The true value of multi-level kitchen design has only begun to be explored! The Mogul is sure that there are interesting times ahead and asks; is the modern kitchen now defined by the units that have become integrated into the architecture and cannot be seen? If the answer is yes the modern kitchen is to become an island or peninsula, an anchor for function and sociability in an open plan setting.

The Mogul wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year and will be back in 2011 to keep a close eye on everything...Oh yea...The Mogul will also have big news about an important new friend!

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
