Kitchen Design for Now and When You Are Ninety!

 
Disturbed by the way their ninety-year-old ‘Nan’ has to struggle in her current kitchen scenario, Product Tank has designed this compatible Kitchen 02. It’s compatible in the sense that both the sliver generation and the young-guns can use it easily. Like they say, “This is not a Kitchen for a Michelin starred chef, just an old lady who wants to remain independent and cook herself simple meals.”
Features:
  • The kitchen is small to reduce the amount of movement between areas.
  • Everything has been designed so that tasks can be performed sitting down.
  • You can get your legs under the sink to make washing up and preparing food easier.
  • The sink has a shelf to rest things on whilst you clean them and a moveable divider to split the sink into two areas so you can wash up and still have a vegetable prep area.
  • You can remove the divider to have one large sink capable of fitting an oven tray.
  • The prep area is recessed so that if there is a spillage, anyone sat down won’t get wet and all spillages can be swept into the sink to make cleaning easier.
  • There are two boilers.
  • To use one, you simply engage the plug and fill with water directly from the tap.
  • The boiler eliminates the need for carrying heavy pans full of water and the risk of pans tipping over, especially when sat down.
  • Sensors in the sides prevent the boiler from being overfilled or boiling dry.
  • A light cage holds and drains the food being cooked, or the boilers can be used as steamers.
  • The boilers are easy to clean and trash eaters take care of any loose bits of food. Taking pots and pans out of the equation is not only a safety feature, but also reduces the amount of storage needed.
  • The controls are angled to make them easy to read and it’s easy to see if they have been left on from a distance.
  • The dials are easy to grip and the numbering is high contrast.
  • A bold graphic makes it easy to see which dial relates to which cooking element, without having to look at small awkward diagrams.
  • This model includes a frying plate and an induction hob for soups and sauces.
  • These elements are plug and play and can be quickly changed for a variety of options and easily removed for cleaning.
Designer: Product Tank

Hamptons luxury kitchen

Drawing inspiration from movies and the Hamptons alike, this show-stopping kitchen by Art of Kitchens stays true to traditional Hamptons design, oozing luxury.
Designer: Liam Murphy for Art of Kitchens
“Inspiration for this Hamptons-style kitchen came specifically from the stunning home in the film Something’s Gotta Give. The style is synonymous with light and bright spaces, white timber and panelled walls, wide stained-oak timber flooring (often with a sun-bleached look) and natural colours and finishes, all of which are featured in this kitchen. Recreating the look requires a fine balance of traditional and elegant design with rustic touches and luxury features. Key elements include the face frame detail around each cupboard, the ornate Kirribilli profile of the panels, and the French door glass cabinets. Together with the subway tiles, proud kickboards and cornices, and rustic light-blue hand-painted timber panelling of the open shelving (which also continues inside all the cupboards), the look is solid, opulent and authentic. The level of detail includes the Mother of Pearl handles and proud mounted hinges, added to recreate the look, while Blum soft-close internal hardware provides ease of use. The 1200mm-wide freestanding oven and French door fridge inject luxury into the space, along with the Lightening Brown marble with a traditional ogee edge detail. The original polished slab was honed, which gives it a more natural matt look that works in beautifully with the timber floor, and also makes it less susceptible to scratches and stains.”

things we like

nendo

M&O PARIS designer of the year, January 2015

Oki Sato, born in 1977 in Toronto, Canada, studied architecture at Waseda University in Tokyo.
He obtained his Master’s degree in 2002. In the same year, the nendo studio was born in Tokyo.
Now he has taken up the international stage, with offices in Tokyo and Milan.
Nendo, meaning ‘modelling clay’, expresses his desire of having certain flexibility and the ability to reinvent oneself. The designer takes his inspiration from Japanese uncluttered style to create a language of his time.
The philosophy of Oki Sato is reflected in his designs, thanks to which he transforms the interactions of people with the objects surrounding them by creating a parenthesis in their life.
This desire is found in the uncluttered and characteristic shapes of his designs, to which he always adds a touch of humour and conviviality.
You could experience the multi-sensorial chocolatexture lounge by nendo, Designer of the year for MAISON&OBJETPARIS January 2015 at the entrance! Design à vivre.
