Dada - Place Kitchen
Italy, 2004
The Place range of kitchen furniture is the product of a twelve-month collaboration between Foster + Partners and Dada SpA and the design evolved through a series of discussions on the changing nature of the kitchen.
The design development of the kitchen coincided with the construction of Albion Riverside, a residential project on the River Thames. Dada won the contract to supply the kitchen fit-outs, and this presented the design team with an opportunity to further refine and improve the functional aspects of the design. The modern kitchen has become the focal point of the contemporary house, and the Dada Place kitchen provides an informal environment for relaxing and entertaining. The design team re-examined the concept of the fitted kitchen and explored the idea of responsive components, creating a dynamic product range that did not require extensive on-site installation. A number of systems and technological features have been incorporated to assist users with their daily activities, helping them use their space better and responding to their ever-evolving lifestyles.
