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.

Bow Bins

A clever re-use of plastic baskets and tubs that would normally have been landfill.

Designed by: Cordulakehrer

I am:  Re-imagined plastic baskets

About me:

These beautiful genetically spliced baskets are made in Germany using old plastic baskets, broken tubs and buckets. Craftspeople cleverly weave rattan, wicker and reed to bring new life to these cast-offs of human existence.

 

 

We love the terminator-like qualities of these morphing objects. Although it feels a lot like an artistic statement, the new baskets are also useful.

Very clever.

 

Materials:

  • Plastic
  • Rattan
  • Wicker
  • Reed
