Tankar om ett kök
The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in our homes. It is a place for social engagements, meetings between people and activity. How the kitchen looks today is a concept sprung from the Swedish kitchen standard of 1952. Eventhou this standard no longer exists it is a model of how kitchens are designed today. The kitchens most often sold today come from one of four major kitchen manufacturers in Sweden.My thesis investiges an alternative kitchen concept. What I am suggesting encourages social situations and activitys and offers surfaces where we can come together. It displays rather than hides those personal objects that make a kitchen personal.Like the countryside kitchen of old times, in wich the fireplace were the core of the home, this concept and its surfaces create the same conditions for socialmeetings and activity.I have in this rapport focused on workspace, storage and where we sit and and eat.To me a kitchen is all about, personality and the joy of creating.Anders Ekström
