Monumental design statement

YACHTING | 2023

An iconic kitchen cutting block made of black steel, equipped with a chopping slab of black stone which literally seems to float. It is a singular geometric body quite at rest in itself, nobly restrained in inherent power though not in its intrinsic presence. The kitchen blossoms to become more a work of art than a utilitarian working space. Puristic intensity coupled with flawless functionality. The sublime lines of the high-end design kitchen FOLD are derived from the Asiatic art of folding paper, and thus the moniker.

A series of flower vases known as FOLD is the first offspring in a family of accessories whose shapes are engendered by the potentials of the eponymous kitchen. In fact, it embodies the ongoing extension of its own evolving design potential. Closely linked to the design kitchen, these four independent types of vases of varying shapes and sizes have been developed, and never fail to reflect the seminal principle of their origin.

It might seem as if mastermind Martin Steininger was, with FOLD, erecting a monument. Perhaps it is so, yet this is not the only one. Timeless contemporary architecture and luxurious design visions have been distinguished by awards a number of times.
