Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Kitchens and bathrooms are, arguably, the most consequential rooms in the home — and almost always the first to be considered. Whether approached through renovation or new build, their design has the power to recalibrate how a home is lived in and experienced. For this issue, our guest editor, Mardi Doherty, principal of Studio Doherty, explores what it truly means to transform these pivotal spaces — and why thoughtful design in kitchens and bathrooms delivers dividends far beyond the purely functional. Her insights both as an architect and as her own client give an open and honest account of the thinking behind creating a home.

Have you ever seen such luxury cutlery?

Instead of the usual industrial perforated steel, this range of cutlery is made from hand casted bronze.

Edged Cutlery, by Maximilian Löw, is certainly luxury. The choice of material is a controversial one, making manufacturing very different from regular cutlery.

Due to this confrontation a conventional object of daily use gets its own individual character and gives awareness for daily objects. Is there a possibility to combine soft curves of classic cutlery with sharp, rigorous edges?

As the eating comfort should not suffer under this arrangement, the challenge was to combine the aesthetics with a pleasant usability. This required a large amount of ergonomic models and self – experiments. After evaluation and adjustment of the models the pieces were cast in bronze. Of course, different manufacturing methods and materials are conceivable for the real production and commercial viability.
