5 Tips from Karim Rashid: About Modern Kitchen

Designer Karim Rashid, who designs everything from tableware to furniture, reflects on what a modern kitchen should be.

Industrial design makes our lives better. It bridges the two worlds — the real and the digital. The modern individual encounters thousands of images of beautiful furniture, cars, jewelry, and clothing on the internet. The tangible objects we touch when turning away from the screen should be just as interesting, attractive, and exciting. Kitchen furniture is no exception.

1. In the kitchen, it's important to derive pleasure from the cooking process, aromas, and flavors. Nothing should distract from this. That's why I design a clean space where all ingredients, large appliances, and gadgets are hidden from view. The three new models of "Maria" kitchens create the right atmosphere in the home.

2.The kitchen is becoming smarter. Even inexpensive modern appliances are ten times safer and more efficient than those produced ten years ago – it's a natural evolution. While technologically advanced items used to be affordable only for wealthy individuals, progress now makes them accessible to the majority.

3.Better doesn't necessarily mean more. I enjoy refining objects, but without unnecessary embellishments. Concise kitchens, created according to my sketches, will add artistic flair to any space.

4.For me, color is tangible—it helps create not only mood but also form. It is often believed that bright shades are only appropriate in children's spaces, but I believe in a universal world where color has neither age nor gender. Different colors should accompany us throughout our lives.

5.I am a supporter of modern materials and love working with natural biodegradable polymers produced from corn, sugar, and tree bark. The frames of the "Maria" kitchens are made from environmentally friendly, moisture-resistant, and durable particleboard from Austrian production, equipped with reliable German hardware. All models use artificial stone Corian—this material provides ample design possibilities.
