+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.”

POGGENPOHL Introduces New Mineral-Inspired Colors & Modern Shelving System

(Herford, Germany, October 2009) — In addition to wood colors, white and various shades of grey are still dominant kitchen color schemes. Well known for its ability to spot trends as well as setting them, Poggenpohl is now introducing new colors for its kitchen fronts.

Founded in 1892, Poggenpohl is not only the oldest kitchen brand in the world, but has also always been a trendsetter contributing new ideas for kitchens with its innovative developments and striking design, from the first add-on kitchen (1952) through fitted kitchens (1962) and the first solid wood kitchen (1968) to the luxury kitchen introduced last year and dubbed a “Man’s Kitchen,” the P’7340 developed in collaboration with Porsche Design.

Poggenpohl is introducing colors which have never before been seen in a kitchen. They are deliberately neither “loud” nor “harsh,” yet consciously reflect the current trend towards “more color.” The names of these new colors are derived from the mineral colors on which they are based.

• Cubanite – a beige tone
• Oxide – a light blue
• Fluorite – a modest green
• and Curite – a fresh coppery orange

Cubanite

Oxide

Fluorite

Curite

All colors are available as melamine coating, melamine with shiny poly-gloss coating, water-based lacquer or high-gloss lacquer. They can be ordered either as a complete kitchen or simply as a “dash of color” on individual kitchen elements.

A particularly cool Polar White, a wood finish in Sand Pine (with or without aluminium edges) as well as a Holm Oak wood veneer round off the new cabinetry selection.

Shelf System

Moreover, Poggenpohl is introducing a new shelf system which continues the design line of the Poggenpohl kitchen and creates a special visual highlight with the new colors, thus ensuring a flowing transition between kitchen and living room. The new shelf system creates a perfect visual and functional link between cooking and living areas. Available in many colors and veneers, as a solitary wall-mounted unit or as a connecting element, it continues the kitchen’s design line into the living area while at the same time creating a separate focus for modern, high-quality living.

The 39 cm high and 30 cm deep shelf elements are available with or without sliding doors. They hang freely on the wall and, like a Poggenpohl kitchen, are characterized by clear lines and a sophisticated mix of materials. The shelf element can also be combined with matching base units.

The new shelf system permits maximum freedom of design not only with regard to its dimensions, but also in terms of the surface finishes available. It is available in standard widths of 90 cm, 120 cm, 180 cm and 240 cm, as well as in variable widths from 60 cm to 260 cm. All top and bottom panels, as well as the side and back panels are available in virtually every Poggenpohl color and material. From laminate through wood veneer to lacquer and high-gloss lacquered finishes, including the latest trend colors cubanite (an elegant beige color), oxide (a light blue), fluorite (a modest green) and curite (a fresh coppery orange). The same also applies for the sliding doors. The number of possible combinations and design variations is infinite.

Poggenpohl is the world’s leading luxury kitchen cabinet brand with 13 showrooms and 20 dealers across the United States. Established in 1892, Poggenpohl is the world’s oldest kitchen cabinet brand with worldwide headquarters located in Herford, Germany. The Poggenpohl product line has a strong global presence and is available in more than 70 countries. Poggenpohl is a member of the billion dollar Nobia Group, Europe’s leading kitchen interiors company with more than 20 top brands within manufacturing and retailing.

Eric Ripert’s PBS TV series – AVEC ERIC

A trio of innovative European kitchen brands come together to help launch chef Eric Ripert’s PBS TV series – AVEC ERIC.

NEW YORK, NY, September 2009 – Three international superstars in kitchen design – Poggenpohl kitchen cabinets, Miele appliances and BLANCO sinks/faucets have teamed up to outfit world renowned chef, Eric Ripert for the launch of his first solo TV series on PBS stations, AVEC ERIC.

“I am thrilled to have Poggenpohl, Miele and Blanco associated with my show, and thank them for their generous support of AVEC ERIC,” states Eric Ripert.  Ripert’s kitchen plays an important part in his creative process and is truly a reflection of his holistic approach to food and lifestyle.

Eric Ripert, chef of Le Bernardin restaurant in New York City and fan favorite guest judge on Bravo’s “Top Chef,” stars in his own 10-episode series airing nationally now on PBS stations (check local listings).  AVEC ERIC is co-produced by Anomaly and A La Carte Communications and was directed by Emmy-winning director Geoffrey Drummond. In each episode Chef Ripert guides viewers through a culinary journey to where he finds his sources of inspiration. Shot on location around the world, each show returns to his home kitchen where Ripert translates the inspiration gained from his travels into dishes that home cooks could make themselves – all in stunning surroundings and with high performance tools of the trade.

About Poggenpohl
The white laminate Poggenpohl cabinetry selected for the show provides a clean, modern look, maximum storage and maintains Ripert’s vision for an eco-friendly space. The main island and seating area extends the social and entertainment aspects of the kitchen. Open cabinets and shelving areas provide effortless access to seasonings and tools. Poggenpohl kitchen designers worked closely with Ripert to integrate a countertop where the butcher block surrounds and is flush with the cooktop surface, for a more streamlined cooking process. The remaining surface area features Lagos Blue Caesarstone creating a unique countertop style that’s both beautiful and functional. Established in 1892, Poggenpohl is the world’s oldest kitchen cabinet brand and is available in more than 60 countries. Poggenpohl is the world’s leading luxury kitchen cabinet brand with 13 showrooms and 20 dealers across the United States. www.poggenpohl.com

About Miele
Miele MasterChef Collection™ cooking appliances have long been a favorite of both chefs and novices for their high performance, stunningly clean design and ease-of-use. Ripert’s kitchen includes a convection oven, speed oven, warming drawer and induction cooktop. In addition to these exceptional elements, the kitchen also boasts two Miele dishwashers plus an Independence Series refrigerator and wine storage unit. The refrigeration and wine storage come equipped with RemoteVision™ technology so Miele can alert Ripert if something goes wrong (say a door left open) while he’s on location. Founded in 1899 with a single promise of Immer Besser, a German phrase meaning Forever Better, Miele has dynamically grown to become the world’s largest family-owned appliance company with over 16,000 employees in 44 countries. www.miele.com

About BLANCO
BLANCO sinks and faucets are known for their artistry, durability and array of eye-catching designs. Ripert’s sink of choice is the PRECISION™ 16″ R10 Single Bowl – a sophisticated, handcrafted sink made by BLANCO’s exclusive STEELART® division. The 10mm rounded corner radius is flawlessly smooth with an uncompromised attention to detail. A unique satin polished finish with exacting drain grooves complete the beautiful design for easy-to-clean functionality. The KONTROLE faucet sleekly hides a pull-down spray in its elegant pillar design. For three generations, BLANCO has quietly and passionately elevated the standards for luxury sinks, faucets and decorative accessories. Proud of its European heritage and award-winning German engineering, BLANCO is steadfastly committed to their tradition of high quality, innovative design and unsurpassed service since 1925. www.blancoamerica.com
