A design conversation on fabulous form and function …
As part of the programme of Design Talks and events at Design Week Dublin (DWD), in partnership with Range Rover, guests joined Richard Fagan of bulthaup HQ and Realm on Hanover Quay at Grand Canal Dock.
A presentation on the Bauhaus movement (based on the principle of the German art, design and architecture school founded by architect Walter Gropius in 1919) was followed by an introduction to luxury kitchen appliance brand Gaggenau’s new Expressive range.
Bauhaus designs prioritised utility and clean lines, rejecting excessive ornamentation and focusing on form following function. In the realm of architectural excellence, where form meets function, every detail counts. From the structural integrity of a building to the layout of its interior spaces, the pursuit of perfection demands a meticulous approach. It’s within this ethos that bulthaup, influenced by the principles of the Bauhaus movement, has not only reshaped kitchen design but also revolutionised the technical aspects of its construction.
The Gaggenau Expressive series, explained Gaggenau’s Head of projects Rachel Sargeant, was inspired by Bauhaus principles and minimalist modern architecture showcases bold, sculptural forms. “Two frames, one circle, a piece of art,” encapsulates its essence – each element a stroke of design genius. The outer frame of the Gaggenau Expressive series delineates a clear boundary with its kitchen environment, while the inner frame cradles the innovative.
Guests included architect and interior designer Maria MacVeigh of MMV Design and architect Deirdre Whelan of Scott Tallon Walker. For more information, see www.gaggenau.com and www.bulthaup.com.
