defining the ‘live in kitchen’ by brazilian designers studio cinque are two main volumes – a dark grey, subtracted monolith frames appliances, a seating area and the service entrance to the apartment, while a silver volume floats above the floor, extending through the room with metal surfaces, adding a sense of lightness. the varying sizes of the shapes and materials helps to unify the different elements, creating a feeling of harmony in the multi-functional space. there are two unique entrances, the first one is a small tunnel that is built into the furniture, while the other is highlighted by a bar that serves as a transition between the living room and kitchen. the integrated bar and seating area foster a cozy and relaxed type of atmosphere, with LED lighting features and bright neon art. the stainless steel kitchen equipment is discreetly arranged, making the ‘live in kitchen’ also efficient to use.
