ISHI
For Culimaat 2021
‘ISHI’ is a new kitchen island designed by Guy de Vos.
It is the protagonist in the room with its monolithic and heavy looks. The island is shaped like a massive block of natural stone, only to be divided by a sliver of wood which gives the top part the appearance of a worktop. Two materials working together creating an elegant interplay of balances.
Extruded from this wooden plinth comes a volume that functions as a table. The placement is lower than the stone worktop giving it the appearance of a Japanese sushi bar. Usable for a morning coffee, a quick snack, or for hosting guests while someone is preparing delicious meals.
Because of this height difference between cook and guests the focus will be on the one performing behind the kitchen. Making this the perfect kitchen for dinner parties.
