Folded Form Kitchenettes

The Origami-Mi Kitchen is a Crafty Stand-Alone Space

— December 14, 2011 — Art & Design
A kitchen is a name one tends to give to the room where food preparation takes place, but can you have a kitchen which is not defined by four walls? The Origami-Mi Kitchen does not even incorporate three, two or one spatial divider, but it does suggest a space that specializes in sustenance storage, cooking and cleaning.

In order to give this room its open boundaries, designer Olga Kryukova constructed the amalgamated furnishing from boxes mounted on a metal tube structure. The sharp sculptural units can be customizable to take a number of intriguing geometric shapes. The pristine white cabinetry of the Origami-Mi Kitchen is given a contemporary edge with the incorporation of angular lines, and lightened up by quirky wireframe racks built between the crisp contours.
Trend Themes
1. Flexible Kitchen Design - Creating kitchen spaces that do not adhere to traditional four walls, offering customizable and open floor plans for food preparation and storage.
2. Geometric Furniture Design - Incorporating sharp sculptural units and angular lines in kitchen cabinetry and furniture, adding a contemporary and visually appealing aesthetic to the space.
3. Wireframe Storage Solutions - Utilizing quirky wireframe racks and shelves in kitchen designs to provide unique storage options, combining functionality with an artistic touch.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - Opportunity for interior designers to create innovative kitchen spaces that challenge traditional layouts and offer customizable options for clients.
2. Furniture Manufacturing - Potential for furniture manufacturers to explore the production of geometric kitchen cabinetry and modular units to meet the demand for modern and customizable kitchen designs.
3. Kitchen Organization - Market for companies specializing in wireframe storage solutions for kitchens, offering innovative and visually appealing alternatives to traditional shelving systems.
