Poggenpohl, the German high-end kitchen manufacturer, recently announced +ARTESIO, a fresh new take on design that features a collaboration with Hamburg-based architect Hadi Teherani of BRT Architects. Born in Tehran, Iran, Mr. Teherani is a world renowned artchitect who has been recognized as one of the most creative minds in architecture and design. The new aesthetic provides an all-embracing option and architectural melting pot that fuses furniture design, wall, floor and ceiling while also integrating ventilation, lighting and sound "under one roof". As many homes are retreating back to the kitchen as an ideal place for cooking, entertaining and home living, +ARTESIO is an option for those who wish to integrate this type of design into their homes. The new line follows the Bauhaus philosophy that "form follows function" and will be available through Poggenpohl in early 2011. The kitchens are designed using a three dimensional platform that connects the floors, walls and ceiling. The ceiling takes on a functional arch that houses the lighting, ventilation and sound features that draw the dweller to the kitchen which then becomes the new center of the home. The kitchens are organized such that the design grid combines louvred walls and base units that feature horizontal lines. The uniform style is based on a new carcase that allows identical front and side sections which represents innovation in kitchen design. The kitchens also incorporate stainless-steel bands that extend around the structure of the walls providing the perfect compliment to the wooden surfaces. Poggenpohl provides a variety of materials for use with the deisgn including a textured leather (the first ever offered by the line), and other finishes including melamine, wood venners and lacquered glass.
