From kitchen for storing to kitchen for showing. Tokujin Yoshioka captures the hedonistic ambition of the kitchen of the future, which aspires to show itself off in its entirety. The practical need for storage is resolved by the designer with a linear, completely transparent unit, and through the smoked glass, the gaze is free to roam over dishes and cooking utensils. Container and contents share the stage, co-stars in an extremely beautiful project.
