My work is nominated for an @austrian_interior_design_award

Within the last year I designed and engineered this versatile system furniture, which can grow and shrink with ones needs.

Desinging and engineering for @kitchen.to.keep was really as much fun as playing Lego as a kid!

Keep kitchen reinterprets the concept of the kitchen as a piece of furniture and replaces the fitted kitchen with a timeless 'system furniture'. Due to the modular design of all its system typologies— wall module, tall cabinet, and island—individual kitchen elements can be expanded at any time, for example by adding another middle frame or simply longer connecting tubes.

As a system furniture, each 'keep module' consists of welded frames, connecting tubes, cross tubes, and folded sheet metal parts, all made of stainless steel and optionally powder-coated in color. Four specially engineered corner connectors made of a die-cast zinc alloy are screwed to the welded frames, which then accommodate the connecting tubes of various lengths. The raw core of a simple module can be assembled with just eight M5 screws.

All cladding parts and front panels can be removed or replaced easily.
Additionally the modular design enables the construction of chests of drawers, sideboards, and cabinets, which can be cladded with a wide variety of materials.
