As conceived at the beginning, the booth
was a space of provocative contrasts mixing up functional withe merely aesthetic elements, combining silks and embroidery with hi-polished stainless steel and thermo-colored glass, juxtaposing humongous stone
counter tops to delicate and elongated vases full of orchids.

The final space was somehow a laboratory in which we showed of the best skills of Bizhan manufacture in Asia. At the end, we had a double full house at ICFF: full of furniture and full of people.

As part of the utmost NYC-style studio this kitchen+office combo was designed to share a barely 400 sq feet space with a storage+sleeping wall unit and a shower+sink freestanding piece. Liberating the kitchen
from its conventional format and, thus, from the confinement of walls was a crucial step to the development of this piece.
FREE STANDING PIECES at ICFF - Reconverted into a five-usable-surfaces element it
became a playful puzzle consisting on interlocking planes and volumes. On one side, the properly said "kitchen" with half-sized dishwasher and fridge, pantry, a 2-burner kitchen top, sink and a more intimate eat-inarea with a pull-out table that fits/feeds 4 people. On the other side, an office plenty of storage -shelves and drawers- and a pull-out working desk (when not being used for eating.)

This kitchen was designed with the sole purpose of not being used. It is a kitchen
for gathering friends, conversation, prepping-up, posing... definitely not for cooking. A-functional? Aesthetics. It is a kitchen devoted to showing-off.
(I can't help but wonder, can non-functional be a function per se? Are aesthetics a function? Is it a-functional? No, it's a-kitchen.)
