The Diamond Effect

Diamonds sparkle, they have a strange effect on people. They have the ability to reflect light in a hypnotic way making us fall in love and part with large amounts of our hard earned cash. The investment in a diamond is never questioned and is seen as a public expression of our love for another human being and as an expression of our position in society. Buying a kitchen is the same.

This kitchen design by New Zealand designer Mal Corboy is beautiful; it captures the power of light and uses the reflective qualities of glass and stainless steel to create a powerful visual experience for the viewer. The design exudes a quality and richness that makes you fall in love. And you should love your kitchen, as it will accompany you though life’s ups and downs, presenting itself as a familiar backdrop to your home live and as outward expression of who you actually are.

Buying a kitchen without integrated ambient lighting is like buying a car without a painted finish. You just don’t get to see the overall picture and the potential beauty of your purchase.

This design manages to encourage a lingering desire to admire, the type of art gallery presence that demands quiet contemplation to fully appreciate.

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
