B2 Kitchen Workshop

The German kitchen manufacturer bulthaup has “radically rethought the traditional concept of a kitchen” with its B2 Kitchen Workshop. With this kitchen bulthaup has created an open and mobile area that can be added and composed to suit each individual’s personal requirements.

The B2 Kitchen is made up of a “workbench, which houses the fire and water point, a kitchen tool cabinet for crockery, cooking utensils, spices and food, and an appliance cabinet, which houses the oven, dishwasher and refrigerator. The storage space has been so cleverly compacted that pull-outs and drawers have been rendered completely unnecessary”.

The in-door storage area is a great way of either hiding everything or completely showing it off. Once open, everything that is possibly needed for a two person household is visible at a glance and within reach. Once the doors are closed however, the kitchen returns to its simple, minimalist nature.

Materials such as oak and walnut veneer are used to add to this simple, yet effective minimalist style. The worktops are made from stainless steel, oak, walnut and grey sandstone.

Gerd Bulthaup says that “By constantly observing the living and eating habits of people from all over the world, bulthaup develops new kitchen concepts to address the needs of modern lifestyles globally. bulthaup b2 is responsive to modern lifestyles, such as single-person or two-person households, or even “extended families”, and is the perfect kitchen for the nomad lifestyle, or those who are pioneers in creating new alternative living spaces”.
