Your Entire Life Can Be Lived in the Kitchen
Enjoy cooking, invite friends over for parties. The kitchen naturally blends with the dining area, expanding its role as a place where we spend much of our lives. TOYO KITCHEN STYLE has now unveiled new creations that present a fresh style for the kitchen.
The "MEGA KITCHEN," with a maximum width of approximately 6.5 meters and a depth of 1.5 meters, embodies the evolving role of the kitchen. It can accommodate two to three sinks and two to three cooking appliances. This is a "mega-sized" version of TOYO KITCHEN STYLE's "CD-LAND" multiple kitchen, which also serves as a dining space. The MEGA KITCHEN is ideal for families and friends gathering to enjoy meals and spend quality time together, allowing two families to cook simultaneously.
The titanium-finished stainless steel worktop is handcrafted by stainless steel artisans, creating a seamless, full-flat form. This removes the boundaries between the cooking and dining areas, fostering communication around the kitchen.
The new "Stone" series of kitchen doors
The "Crystal Airflow" acrylic kitchen legs
The new kitchen doors are also noteworthy. The "Stone" series, announced this time, brings a sense of luxury and gravitas to the kitchen with the texture of real natural stone. It includes "Stone Natural," which uses real natural stone applied with special techniques to create a striking visual of a giant stone block seemingly floating in mid-air, as well as "Stone Dark" and "Stone Gray," created using cutting-edge digital printing technology.
Additionally, TOYO KITCHEN STYLE's uniquely developed "Airflow" kitchen legs have been introduced. The "Crystal Airflow" features transparent legs made of acrylic resin. By elevating the kitchen off the floor, it improves ventilation, makes cleaning easier, and allows users to get closer to the kitchen for cooking by fitting their toes under the unit, reducing physical strain. Supported by transparent legs, the kitchen gives a surreal impression of floating, yet it has passed rigorous seismic tests simulating earthquakes on the scale of the Great East Japan Earthquake, ensuring exceptional strength.
Moooi Stools: Combining High Design with Comfortable Seating
The "Monster Bar Stool" is available in two sizes: "Monster Bar Stool Low" and "Monster Bar Stool High."
At the same time, the "Monster Bar Stool" from the Dutch interior brand "moooi," designed by Marcel Wanders, has arrived. This stool focuses on the "comfort" required for kitchen seating.
With legs reminiscent of a monster's "foot," it boasts an original design. The backrest and full cushioning allow for extended relaxation, making it a new type of stool. It is made from a durable, flame-resistant advanced synthetic leather that has withstood approximately 50,000 abrasion tests.
