Oskar Schmidt

Design must become more boring. People, their lives and survival are more important than design. The relationship between objects and users is fostered through an honest design language, which communicates function rather than aesthetics.

These principles are behind the development of Kitchen for Homes, a modular kitchen system that opposes the sculptural, dysfunctional and unsustainable aesthetics that flourish as a pastiche of postmodernism, particularly on social media. The kitchen is constructed of aluminium profiles and can be easily assembled and disassembled manually. Through its mobility, Kitchen for Homes rejects the location specificity that has been standard for the modern Western kitchen since its inception.

The empty spaces in the modules expose the kitchen’s infrastructure and give the user a closer relationship to the technology. In all, a kitchen is created that can be reformulated, adapted and reused over and over again.
