THE CUT re- con figures— it surprises! It recognises the kitchen as a
practical yet central space, a place to grab- and-go, a place to congregate
and chat, a place to relax and dine. And it’s designed to understand that
each of these occasions present themselves daily in our fast modern lives.
Why should a Kitchen be fixed, un- moveable, permanent? Today’s
kitchen is more often than not the ‘hub’ of the home, right at its heart. Its
importance has been elevated beyond just food preparation. Now it’s the
place so many of us meet and probably have some of the most interesting
conversations of our lives!
The intention was to create a kitchen with strong personality, a sculptural
piece that stands centre stage, to be seen and admired, to seduce, surprise
and entertain, through its ability to adjust to use and desire.
The basis of the kitchen is a parallelepiped that’s been cut in two pieces.
The two parts then rotate and fix into position to present configuration
choice to suit the aesthetic of the space and user needs.
A line cuts through the top block creating the slot for a table surface. This
table can slide horizontally and rotate. The user can ultimately decide the
final configuration of their kitchen.
