Bulthaup has created the b2, an open and mobile kitchen that can reflects the systematic observation of lifestyle and food in the world. According to DeZeen Design Magazine, its design is based on the philosophical origins of every living space, water and fire.
The kitchen design workshop layout is comprised of three main elements: a 'workbench' housing the sink and cooker, 'tool cabinet' for utensils, crockery and food, and appliance cabinet for the oven, dishwasher and fridge.
"bulthaup b2 is a kitchen that either conceals everything or showcases it," Dezeen says. "Opening the in-door storage doors provides an overview of the entire kitchen domain. Everything needed for a two person household is visible at a glance and within reach. The smart compaction of the storage space makes pull-outs and drawers unnecessary."
