kookoo by sébastien poupeau from france

My aim through this project is to show off the art of cooking. I deeply believe that cooking needs a creative mind, time and efforts that cannot be reduced to a one-minute ready-cooked meal. I propose an open-space where the cooker and guests are invited to meet together.
The main worktop, which is height-adjustable, includes a food cutting area. In front of this is a digital screen enabling the cooker to pilot the equipment, listen to music or access to the web to find recipes for instance. This 'multi-screen' is extended by a dining surface. On both sides stand two units; one with induction hobs and an oven for cooking, preparing; the other with a sink and its drying rack fitted into and a dishwasher with two separated racks. The project also envelops an upper level for the hood and a heating area. A light made of optical fibre under the surface holds the glasses over the guests. The project includes a wall system for storage. These are kind of big cupboards integrated in the wall. The fridge is part of them in particular. I wanted to make all those elements disappear.
The materials are mainly DuPont Corian adopted for its well-known properties nowadays.
