P002 The Russian Kitchen













The Russian Kitchen
Competition, 1st Prize, 2001
Client: Toncelli / Gempico
Design: Andreas Huhn, Alexander Sverdlov
This project examines the kitchen as a phenomena of luxury. A new notion of kitchen is established through its liberation from existing typological, functional and programmatical obligations. New kitchen performances reshape the living environment revealing its latent qualities.
A number of scenarios are proposed, showing how the kitchen can interact with the lifestyle of its user. These scenarios brake the typical lay out by integrating the kitchen into the entire house.
The kitchen unit itself is based on a generic block. Made of a single high technological material it can vary in temperature, light and transparency. Imprints offer different and exchangeable textures.
A catalogue extends commonly used equipment in kitchens with new and traditional elements ranging from preparation, storage, cooking and serving to integrated furniture.
