Philippe Starck Compact Kitchen
Anyone for a compact kitchen?
This isn’t a new idea of course. Several designers in recent years have introduced us to the very practical concept of Yacht designs in the home – where every surface has a multiple purpose.
However, when Philippe Starck decides to bring out a compact kitchen then we have to take a look – even if it is only out of curiosity!
This Philippe Starck creation, called, the “Tower Kitchen”, features two standalone units that each take up no more than one square metre of floor space.
The towers are separated into a hot tower that houses a conventional oven and a steam oven, and a cold tower that houses the fridge-freezer. However, supplementary electrical appliances such as a dishwasher or microwave, for example, can also be integrated into the towers.
The towers are closed on three sides with doors concealing the appliances within. The fourth side is left open and can be designed to meet the user’s personal requirements. The rear wall can be used as a mirror or blackboard front, providing space for an enormous shopping list or a welcoming greeting for friends. With a light touch the flexible units can be rotated 360 degrees to reveal each of the sides.
The kitchen also features a functional island that also serves as a dining table. The “Trumpet Table” is a so-called working module that provides preparation space, sink, hob and dining area. Storage space is located beneath the work surface.
