o bar kitchen

o bar kitchen by chris kim from korea

designer's own words:

cooking, preparing meals mean a lot more
these days since people care much more about what they eat
and being well.
The activity "cooking" itself would become much more
important factor of daily life with this kitchen system.
from the nature of this kitchen system, many people can
involve in cooking and share pleasant time together.
preparing meals wouldnt be a duty anymore.

The O-bar kitchen system consist of each functional
unit in arc shape. (60 degrees of a circle)
the down part consist of electronic hob unit, sink unit, storage unit, and movable table
that fits in 60-degree module.
the upper storage unit (or cooking hood) can be pulled down by electronic motors.

the cover of storage units are made of electronic light-control glass panel which is
commonly used in architectural design now.
the transparency of cover can be changed by a switch.
without opening the cover, a switch can just make the cover transparent
and light the inside of storage unit.
