foldable furniture is one of the important ways to save space. However, it will lose faster.

We have introduced a lot of mini home solutions, such as a 28 square meter apartment in Central Hong Kong, a 13 square meter micro apartment in Poland, and so on. If you study these cases carefully, you will find that multi use is an essential element.

ANA Arana, an architect from Madrid, graduated from Istituto Europeo di design last year. At a recent design week in New York, she launched such a multi-functional "kitchen" for a single apartment. In this small cabinet, which is only 60 × 60 × 90 cm in length, width and height, Luxury Kitchen Wholesale there are chopping boards, water tanks, refrigerators, lockers and electronic gas stoves. Usually put the cabinet in the corner; when you want to cook, you can easily use the corresponding functions by opening the corresponding module.

Of course, if you just put different components together, this cabinet is nothing special. The real difficulty of this combination lies in whether it can satisfy the usage habits of ordinary people and make users feel convenient. Even for ordinary kitchen furnishings, many designs often ignore this point, which is also the main consideration of ANA in the early stage of design. "I interviewed a lot of people who lived alone,Ask them how they usually cook, where they eat, and how long it takes from cleaning ingredients, cooking to serving. "

ANA found that "saving time" was the main need for these people who lived alone. When they cut vegetables, for example, they want to throw away the waste. In addition, if there are friends to visit, they also hope to be closer to friends when cooking, so as to facilitate chatting.

To address these two issues, Ana went back to investigate some of the existing small kitchen designs. She was inspired by the modular kitchen system that Bouroullec brothers built in 1998. The system allows users to customize their own functions according to their own needs - add drawers, shelves and hooks, and then take them away in parts when they move.

In terms of design style, Ana also refers to the "minikitchen" designed by Italian Outdoor BBQ Kitchen industrial designer Joe Colombo in 1963, and its compact shape with futuristic retro style, as well as bold imagination of space, efficiency and mobility.

Arana said she also realized through interviews that the time and place of "eating" has become more erratic, sometimes rushing to work and buying a sandwich on the street. If you don't use the kitchen every day, you don't need to see it every day.

So the small cabinet in front of you is a simple and good-looking cuboid at a glance. The top sink uses a detachable tap. There is a wooden pallet on one side of the cabinetOn the other side of the upper drawer, you can see an electronic gas stove. In the lower drawer, you can also put a microwave oven or a toaster.

There is also a small door on the front of the cabinet, which opens to a refrigerator; it also has two drawers on the Stainless Steel Kitchen Cabinets upper layer, which can hold pots and pans.

The kitchen system, called Gali, is still available in samples, and ana is looking for a manufacturer to mass produce it.
