Kitchens for Looks and for Cooks
I like to cook, especially when I don't have to. When I have the time, I like to whip up the real thing, like a pie with a homemade crust. My cooking style generally can be classified as "get outta my way." I need space for all the stuff I'm chopping and shredding. There are a lot of dirty dishes and a lot of tools. It's not a pretty process.
But I like a pretty kitchen as much as the next person. So I visited some model homes recently to indulge in a little window shopping -- and to find out whether new kitchens are for looks or for cooks.

Wiimote Cabinet - Furniture for Gamers
Wii is video game console released by Nintendo some time ago, as you might already know. Today I’ve found a piece of furniture shaped like a Wiimote, the Wiimote Cabinet. It’s not only a great homage to the best controller device ever created, it’s actually functional, and I’m pretty sure that every Nintendo-fanboy must want one of these. This cabinet is perfect for storing your growing collection of Wii games as well as accessories. Unfortunately, this was a custom creation so you won’t be able to pick one up for Christmas. The lucky owner of this piece of Wii inspire d furniture is named Craig and the Wiimote cabinet was built for him by his dad.

hoet: furniture, eyewear and mirrorstags: kitchen/dining, livingroom, miscellanea
Though most well-known for their line of chic eyewear, Belgian designer Hoet has also made several successful forays into the world of furniture design. Above: the minimalist BITI and TI chairs first made their debut at the Interior Design Fair in Kortrijk. Both feature clean lines and body-fitting plywood frames.
The Fold table and stool are made from aluminum and are outdoor and indoor friendly. Trapezoidal legs meet at the top along a conspicuous seam; in the case of the stools, the legs are angled to form a slight valley in the middle. A matte finish with beveled Beverly Hills: Edge / Leather Sofa Setss gives the Fold help to soften the otherwise straightforward and severe lines.
The Infinite Chair’s curvaceous, looping body is literally poetry (as described on the Hoet website): “undulating as a female body, rhythmic and dynamic.” Made from powder coated aluminum plates, Infinite is a two-dimensional architectural diagram brought to life, with intersecting planes and a hollow frame. Minimal padding is available in the form of a vinyl cushion that flows and nearly disappears into the surface.
Similar to the Infinite Chair, the Puzzle Chair and Table have distinctly two-dimensional properties. Formed by a series of laser-cut aluminum plates arranged in a grid, Puzzle possesses a solid profile when viewed from an angle but certain sections nearly disappear when viewed from orthogonal directions. Note that the chairs come with a leather cushion (not seen) to prevent sitters from developing a “grill butt”.
Some of Hoet’s most interesting work is with Mirrors; above: the organic Margriet and Twist Mirrors are somewhat alien in appearance with Mirrors suspended in a black frame (made from either plastic or aluminum). Margriet is both a decorative flower/ Mirror and a fruit bowl, while the twist Mirror comes with two Mirrors at perpendicular angles along curved arms.
