CAVE SPACE
This Bulthaup outdoor kitchen in the b2 material showcases their core principle: “Tools and materials must always be kept tidy and close at hand.” This helps the designers at Bulthaup to turn kitchens into workshops, providing an abundance of freedom to move around. The b2 reduces the kitchen to three sculptural elements – the kitchen tool cabinet, the workbench and the kitchen appliance cabinet. These elements are liberated from static walls so they can adapt to any spatial circumstances, like outside! Your barbecue party goers won’t know what hit them when they see this state-of-the-art kitchen set up in your garden. www.bulthaup.com
