The kitchen
Francis Kéré and next125
An open, sheltered space with a precise kitchen cube made of bronze-coloured mirror glass and natural stone in the centre, inspired by the ideas of the Bauhaus.
The design: nature meets perfection
Among other things, next125 uses the surface material natural stone from Systemo, a natural material with a unique look and exceptional material properties. The cubic clarity of the kitchen, a central feature of the next125 brand, creates a maximum contrast to Kéré's natural pavilion. For the kitchen block to be presented in Kéré's pavilion, Pfister's team deliberately opted for a bronze mirror glass surface. Mirror glass is the perfect material here - the surface visually dissolves the dimensions of the kitchen to a certain extent and allows it to merge with its surroundings.
"A kitchen must be perfect and precise, but also simple, cosy and inviting. Materials and the feel of the room are therefore becoming increasingly important. They help us to relax in the kitchen and leave our everyday lives behind us."
The centrepiece of the cooperation – the kitchen from next125
"Working with next125 on The Fireplace immediately took me back to my childhood. I travelled from Herrieden in Bavaria to Gando in Burkina Faso to my roots, so to speak."
