with the trend of living spaces and kitchen islands merging together in many contemporary homes, dutch i29 interior architects developed a kitchen system serving as furniture that seems to disappear in space. installed into a quaint parisian apartment, the design is reduced to an absolute minimum; the top surface measuring only a few of centimeters in thickness, with all water, cooking and electrical connections included. where the concept is installed, an existing profiled wall is replicated on the front panels of the cabinets in order to integrate the solid volume with the monumental plan. the freestanding kitchen island is placed in front of the casework, which has large doors that swing open and slide back to reveal appliances and storage space. when closed, the kitchen and pantry are concealed from view.
