Ours is an industrial reality in which the relationship with the artisan tradition, the choice of raw materials and a sustainable approach have become the method of production, which guarantees high quality.

LIGHTS, CAMERA…PROJECTOR, BUT IN A KITCHEN


I wonder what else we will be seeing in futuristic kitchens, but for the moment let’s stick to what Nelly has for us. Since my French is no-good I’m going to do my best to explain what she is trying to convey. Oniris is the kitchen for the future that integrates technology to its advantage. The central working unit doubles up as a dining, washing, cooking and storage area. There is a chandelier on top of the unit that houses LED lights, a motion-sensor camera and a projector as well. You guessed it, the projector displays recipes/images on the countertop.

The graphic visuals can be programmed and pre-set for special occasion like birthdays etc. It can also be used to announce the meal courses in a very animate way.
An induction cooking plate, storage cabinet and sensor-controlled faucet complete the concept.
Now that I have conveyed the basics, my two-cents on this: I’m all for technology in the kitchen, but practical solutions for spills, heavy-duty cooking like we Indians do (read oily fried foods) need more tougher terrains. Overall verdict-Thumbs Up!

under the direction of leopold banchini and daniel zamarbide of bureau A with the assistance of giona bierens de haan, students of the geneva university of art
and design have completed a mobile exhibition set of modules – with a fully sized realization of the kitchen concept. the school was commissioned to
rethink the possibilities of creating an area in a modern landmark building in geneva – instead of compromising any space of the listed building
with another construction, the workshop concentrated on imagining mobile devices.

informed by the vernacular and intelligent portable architectures and spontaneous structures found in many countries in the world,
the students imagined a series of transportable units that could form a small family of objects that could accommodate different functions.
the 5 variations as shown in the models are to host a documentation stand (for brochures and books), an autonomous (photovoltaic) energy feature
providing the needed energy for the exhibition, a gathering module included a table and stools, a café and a media centre with the purpose of visioning film material.
a few of the other concepts will go under construction throughout the year.
