START_UP – Designers News Projcets

Four years ago, EOOS was invited to design a mobile kitchen by bulthaup. In its attempt to create an “ideal kitchen,” the team relied on a participatory approach and defined the kitchen universe as a workshop. The result was a kitchen system whose principle of order is defined by the user. The industrial product b2 produced by bulthaup was presented at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan in April 2008.

For the the START_UP presentation at the MAK a central element is a kitchen cupboard designed by EOOS. Helmut Österreicher is responsible for the selection of cooking utensils and their place in the cupboard. The cupboard will be the fourth object designed by EOOS in the MAK Design Collection.

DesignShowcases© The new series of START_UP first presentations within the exhibition cycle DesignShowcases© 2008 focuses on new projects by Austrian designers. The series explores the various stages preceding a certain product image − a product which has still to be produced, is already advertised, or being introduced on the market. The emphasis will be on (social, formal, or technological) innovation with industrial cooperation.
