Estudiosat designed the Artica Kitchen for Delta Cocinas in an attempt to deconstruct the archetypal kitchen. As the designer puts it, “Artica uses the emotional language of design to create a radically new product without losing any of its functionality. Its form is the result of interpreting the digital language that surrounds us by applying the methods of deconstructivism on a three dimensional surface. The result is a visual impact that requires no added company investment and maintains traditional production processes while respecting the environment.” I’m not sure I’m on board with the “radically new product” part or that I see the impact from the “digital language that surrounds us,” but it is quite stunning. I just wish they’d gone a little farther with it.
