Butler Kitchen





This kitchen by Kitchen Culture oozes custom features which make it very special and a prime example of what an adequate budget can achieve.  The pale palette is bold and the sheer number of units (and handles) impressive but this kitchen design is made fantastic by the curves, custom extraction system and the metal work!
The curve on the island is impressive and allows the kitchen to eat into the architectural expanse, which is made even bigger by the very high ceilings.  This ceiling height is distracted by the fantastic cylindrical extraction system which has been linked by layers of glass that follow the contour of the island beneath!  But the real show stopper here is the bespoke metal work which reaches from the island allowing the casual eating area to float effortlessly in the air. The custom metal fingers spread wide just like a those of a butler carrying a tray.  This feature is absolutely beautiful and captures the very essence of this design! 
Opulent sophistication!

Think about it!

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!
