Outdoor Kitchen Inspiration 002: Kitchen Design

Nouveau Neolithic is a range of tools for post-apocalyptic gourmands to allow us to cope with food and energy scarcity while preserving pleasure and dignity in our daily lives. Drawing inspiration from communal cooking practices during the Depression and World Wars, they use collective labour to produce refined gourmet cuisine from simple staples and foraged foods with minimum energy consumption. The object of the project is to try and find strategies for using objects to promote positive social responses to a scenario where climate change and energy supply depletion has brought an end to cheap food imports.

Flow 2: Studio Gorm

 

flow is a living kitchen where nature and technology are integrated in a symbiotic relationship, processes flow into one another in a natural cycle, efficiently utilizing energy, waste, water and other natural resources. it provides a space not only for preparing food but an environment that gives a better understanding of how natural processes work. a kitchen where food is grown, stored, cooked and composted to grow more food.
the flow products can be used independently but are far more effective when they work in concert as part of a larger system. the individual objects are relatively uncomplicated, acting as simple vehicles for the more com- plex natural processes to do the work. this kitchen is developed as a flexible system where resources are reused by several elements creating a dynamic flow between the products.

peg is a family of furniture with diverse parentage. the shaker peg rail, the korean wall hung table and the lowly shop broom. a flexible furniture system made up of simple components, which can be assembled in a variety of ways to accommodate a multitude of scenarios. it can be just as easily disassembled, using no tools or fasteners. all components can be hung from a peg rail on the wall creating pleasing abstract compositions.

Mobile Hospitality 

The project mobile hospitality (Mobile Gastfreundschaft) pays attention to an important aspect of our design work – the responsibility and the self-initiative in public space. The city plays as a space a difficult role. On the one hand it does not belong to anyone, on the other hand it belongs to all, but it is merely used by us actively, as it was in former times. It has decreased to the background of our everyday activities. Responsibility for the outdoor space, for most of the residents stops at their garden fence. The project mobile hospitality starts just here.

 

Studio Mama: Mobile Kitchen

When the weather is up for it, I love to cook outside. So for this summer's TEN project I have been making an outdoor kitchen, so I can expand my chopping and peeling outside with also the cooking. The outdoor kitchen comprises a gas cooking hob, a bucket sink, a chopping board and storage for crockery, utensils and a few food ingredients. Water is connected from the garden hose and waist water is collected in a watering can placed beneath the sink, so grey water can be reused.
