COVER STORY | MODULAR KITCHENS

A Growth Recipe

This business is gradually getting a semblance of organisation as global players begin to breath down the backs of domestic entrepreneurs, yet challenges remain

Whether it’s chefs, housewives or amateur cooks, all cook better when they have a kitchen that is well designed, easy on the body, and rich with storage space. But what goes in to today’s kitchen? As one speaker at India Kitchen Congress 2011 observed, a modern Indian kitchen is used by three generations of women, the mother-in-law, mother and daughter, each with her own priorities regarding comfort, space and time.

Product In Focus

A Prism of Innovation

This prism principle based drawer system sets new standards in flexibility

The new ArciTech drawer platform from Hettich not only offers smooth running action, stability and soft closure to drawers, but also design flexibility. Its Actro runner design is based on the prism principle, where rollers inside the triangular profile run on left and right-hand sides of a prism and not on a flat surface as in other runners.
ArciTech received the IF Product Design Award 2012 for its innovative design. A single platform allows drawers and pull-outs to be easily modified to different heights and styles, using railings, Topside in steel, or DesignSide in glass. Clearly the aim is to help kitchen makers cut inventory, improve quality and reduce complexity.

Landlocked Waves

This visually striking performing art centre is enriching the cultural heritage of the community

The exterior of Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is featured with a series of arched walls sheathed in stainless steel that rise from the ground like waves. This building consists of two distinct structures formed from multiple concrete and stainless steel bands, which rise up from the prairie grass, arch to a height of 65 feet and meet in a suspended glass ceiling, and then slope down to the south side’s 330-foot wide glass curtain wall.
