Ambient Kitchen is a IED graduation project for an italian premium kitchen brand Schiffini.
The goal of the project was to shift attention from inside the house to outdoor environment and design highly usable, aestethic and modular outdoor kitchen that increases quality of contemporary lifestyle and follows brand values.
In team, we decided to focus on a kitchen that fulfills not only need to cook and eat, but also desires, such as having great time and socialise with friends & family.
The Company
Target & Place
The terrace kitchen does not have a single location. It can be used on the terrace of the house, on the rooftops, on large balconies, by the pool or in other places where there is enough space, fresh air and sun.
Outdoor Experience
At the same time, most outdoor kitchens are just cooking tools. They don’t take into account that people use them for special events and socializing, both while cooking and eating.
Concept Design
The island’s format encourages joint cooking and social pastime, and the drawers, located around the perimeter open from all sides.
Thus, every person standing next to the kitchen can participate in the cooking process.
A shelf for dishes is attached to the kitchen and can be used to transfer dishes or dishes from home to the terrace and vice versa without any hastle
A retractable rotating table is integrated into the kitchen, thanks to which the kitchen becomes not only the center of cooking, but the epicenter of entertainment and eating.
Mobile coffee tables with a convenient storage system are integrated into the kitchen and can be easily removed from the front and back.
If necessary, they can be removed from the kitchen and taken to the side so that people could place food and drinks on them and conveniently sit nearby without crowding around.
Also, the pull-out tables have a couple of interesting features – inside they have ottomans that can be taken out to sit next to tables with comfort, and, as a more daring option, you can purchase a special version of the table with a small fire-pit.
Integrated light can help to create a special atmosphere when it gets darker.
A compact and more affordable kitchen option will suit people who have limited outdoor space. While the larger version uses Corian Super Black on the kitchen top, the compact one uses Fixrete cement coating.
Ambience – ultimate outdoor kitchen experience
