Kitchen Art - it's childs play!!!

It is amazing that some people can think that designing a kitchen is child’s play! But with kitchen design having functional, cultural, social, artistic and holistic implications it could prove foolhardy to underestimate this particular discipline.

Here though we see a brilliantly expressive piece of functional art. Made up of 20,000 individual pieces of Lego and taking a week to complete this concept is blatantly artistic. It is also interesting to observe how the creators, Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti have been so obviously random with the placement of the individual pieces of Logo, making no attempt to create a pattern. The randomness highlights the size of each individual element and therefore reflects the amount of time it has taken to create the design; which could be translated as being a key element of the art itself.

Look forward to telling the fitting teams that they’re installing 20 of these!

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 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. ...

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!
