Issue 66

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.

Kettal at 2013 Salone del Mobile

The Spanish design firm presented both a light and beautiful stand designed by Patricia Urquiola and an elegantly pared back new collection by Jasper Morrison at the Milan design fair.

Bright, breezy, and playful, this year’s stand by Kettal was perfectly evocative of the blend of fun and elegance the brand is renowned for.

Incorporating new and past collections, the stand was delicately divided by semi-transparent surfaces of coloured steel mesh, allowing each collection to be viewed individually without overly compartmentalising the space.

The star of the new releases from the Iberian outdoor furniture brad was the Village chair by Jasper Morrison: a chair for all outdoor situations, from village house to grand café. The lightweight aluminium structure allows easy handling while the neutral language of its form takes nothing away from the scenery. This chair pays respect to the long standing codes of metal stacking outdoor chairs while gently refreshing the look.

Kettal is available in Australia from Dedece in Sydney and Melbourne and Mobilia in Perth.
