HEMEROTECA
6 mayo, 2015
In this kitchen, designed by Karim Rashid, the concept revolves around an open pedestal island.
The tapered curve of the island invites friends and family to pull up a seat. Both faucet and LED light retract into the counter creating a flush surface. The easy addition of multi-purpose cutting board over the sink creates a solid dining space.
Soft curves continue on the wall unit. A rounded cutout creates a cooking and prep area. The inset back-lit mirror is edged by ambient lighting LEDs. Channel opening cabinets hide refrigerator, oven and pantry storage. The use of glass, in matt or glossy finish, for doors, as well as the ceramic, helps to make a model which is already original and recognizable even more exclusive.
The kitchen is the heart of the home. With that in mind, I took what is often a banal archetype of kitchenware and turn it into an elegant communal experience, said the designer, Karim Rashid.
