Counterweighted Equilibrium

This design teeters on a counterweighted equilibrium causing the viewer to question if this is kitchen or art!   Functional performance is enhanced through levitation with storage being restricted to an ergonomically efficient hot zone.   Variance of height and depth are used to provide aesthetic interest and contrasting colours and patterns provide an avenue for artistic flair. A text book example of contemporary kitchen design by Valcucine!   Love it!

Cool Cantilever

A white handle-less kitchen that has been absorbed into the surrounding architecture is nothing out of the ordinary these days but this concept will still encourage a double take! The tall units are completely non-obtrusive allowing the island to take centre stage and the bland colour scheme is given some real vibrancy by displaying a weighty cantilever.   This single design feature catapults this kitchen into a different league not only because it would be difficult to achieve but because it gives this design an artistic feel. This island could be described as a functional sundial born from a sympathetic understanding of our engineering legacy!   It projects the skill of human manufacturing techniques and our mastery of natural forces such as gravity while softly inviting the light!   It is also a very functional piece of kit! Nice!
