Room-In-Room

Poggenpohl’s latest kitchen concept, +Artesio, was featured in the New York Times Home & Garden section. The +Artesio kitchen concept, created by star architect and designer Hadi Teherani, debuted at EuroCucina Milan Furniture Festival earlier last month.

“The customizable +Artesio system includes not only cabinetry but also walls, floors, dining furniture and an independent ceiling with built-in ventilation, lighting and sound, delivering what Elmar Duffner, Poggenpohl’s chief executive, called a “room-in-room solution” that would be ideal for a high-ceilinged loft. A wide range of material choices for the cabinetry — including laminate, wood, glass and leather — allows for further personalization.”

The +Artesio will be available in January 2011 ranging in price from $25,000 to $64,000 For more information about the latest kitchen concept, please call (212)- 228-3334 or send us an email at info@us.poggenpohl.com.

+ARTESIO: Room For New Thinking

 

 

The kitchen at the centre of home architecture

Poggenpohl presents the new +ARTESIO kitchen concept

New thinking has a tradition at Poggenpohl. At the “Eurocucina Furniture Exhibition in Milan (14 to 19 April 2010), German kitchen manufacturer Poggenpohl has presented +ARTESIO, a completely new concept designed in collaboration with Hamburg-based star architect and designer Hadi Teherani. Going far beyond the fitted kitchen typically found in the industry, it provides an all embracing solution in an architectural melting pot fusing furniture design, wall, floor and ceiling.

Poggenpohl established the trend towards the open kitchen many years ago. Looking back, the first step can be seen as the cooking island presented by the company as long ago as 1967 and today the most taken for granted. Featuring different kitchen concepts, multifunctional tables and shelf systems, the years that followed were to produce solutions that all felll under the banner: “The kitchen is moving out of the home.”

+ARTESIO resolutely continues this philosophy and even goes several steps further. Together with Hamburg architect and designer Hadi Teherani, an all embracing concept was developed in which the aspects of building, architecture, home living and kitchen all coalesce. Bearing the typical Teherani signature, the result is a solution that builds a visual bridge between cooking and living.

Doing so – and this is also unique and innovative – the concept embraces all three dimensions: from the floor and walls right through to the ceiling. The latter is visually defined by a function arch with its innovative ceiling that integrates all the elements necessary for lighting, ventilation and sound. This produces an entirely new feeling of space that is inviting and turns the kitchen into the centre of living at home.

Providing  the organisational basis for the new kitchen, a design grid of 130 mm brings together louvred wall and base unit in horizontally linear fashion. The uniform style is based on a newly developed carcase that permits identical front and side sections – a unique innovation in kitchen design. And, as a design element, the stainless-steel band that also extends right the way round the reveal-accentuated structure of the walls with their exquisite wooden surfaces underscores the desired, integrative impression.

In this concept, cooking and eating go hand in hand. As such, a dining table, matching chairs, a corner bench as well as a bench in dark pine are also available from Poggenpohl for the kitchen. The seating’s architectural design reflects the style of the kitchen. Doing so, the horizontally stitched upholstery follows the 130-mm grid of the louvred wall.

With the new +ARTESIO^® concept designed in collaboration with Hadi Teherani, planning the kitchen doesn’t begin once the floor plan has been finalised but ideally starts while the architecture of the building or home is being planned. Yet at the same time, the new concept is so flexible, it can also be implemented without a problem in existing kitchen situations. +ARTESIO^® will be available from Poggenpohl starting early 2011.

Dining By Design 2010 – Morocco in New York

Dining by Design 2010 - Morocco in New York

This year DINING BY DESIGN brings Morocco to Pier 94 with the MMPI and Poggenpohl table designed by interior designer, Harry Daniell. Daniell’s vision blends Poggenpohl’s modern functionality with DINING BY DESIGN’s “over the top” aesthetic. The space features two Poggenpohl Dining Desks in elm veneer. The concept incorporates a layered approach intertwining modernity and extravagance. Staying consistent with Poggenpohl’s high-end brand, the design features table-top items from Bernardaud, Saint-Louis, Puriforcat and the AIDS red-ribbon inspired serving plate by Hermes.

“THERE were many fantastical table settings at the Diffa Dining by

Design benefit exhibition and dinner in Manhattan Monday night,

but the most inventive accessory was a bare-chested young man

who sat, eyes closed and legs crossed, in a yoga pose at the

Poggenpohl for MMPI “Morocco in New York” display. There

were tables and potted trees on either side, and tent-like drapes

behind him.”
