‘EssEntial Eating’ kitchEn ¬
by Peter Klint
An experienced carpenter, Peter Klint has
been designing kitchens for over 25 years.
With its simple and honest construction,
his ‘Essential Eating’ model is a celebration
of Nordic design. Its solid smoked oak frame
cleverly features a series of trays that slide
out and can be placed on the work surface
for use as chopping or draining boards.

‘gravita’ Block ¬
by Studio Lievito
‘JumBo’ pot ¬
by Daniel Gonzalez
From marble spaghetti measures to porcelain
fruit bowls, Studio Lievito specialises in
elegant kitchen accessories and tableware.
The Italian trio’s latest design, the ‘Gravita’
block, leaves us in no doubt as to where each
of the kitchen utensils are kept. A sturdy wedge
of oak houses a spatula, ladle and a slotted
spatula that nest into the block’s specially cut
compartments. For the untidy chefs among us,
each utensil features a handy wedge-shaped
marble handle that when set down, elevates
the messy head above the kitchen counter.

We spotted this cast-iron pot, part of small
cookware set by Czech designer Daniel
Gonzalez, in Milan where it was shown as part
of an exhibition by Prague’s Academy of Arts,
Architecture and Design. A keen chef himself,
Gonzalez wanted to create a heavy-duty range
of pots and pans with a straightforward and
long-lasting design. Comprising two saucepans
and a cooking pot, the set was created as
part of a graduation project in collaboration
with Bohemian metal casting factory Stará Hut
using traditional iron casting techniques.

‘radicE’ stools µ
by Industrial Facility
Sam Hecht and Kim Colin of British studio
Industrial Facility have designed new stools
for Italian manufacturer Mattiazzi by fusing
together the front half of a traditional fourlegged stool with a single supporting back
leg to create a three-legged hybrid. Visually
balanced and structurally sound, the stools
have no visible fixings or screws and their
seats appears to merely rest on the leg frame.
On a more poetic note, the natural, yellow, red
and black wood stain finish options are inspired
by the changing colours of autumn leaves.
