Studio Gorm's Flow kitchen

As a raw-loft-liver I'm very interested in "kitchen stations," or furniture that can be inserted into empty spaces to serve as kitchens where there are no built-ins.

Netherlands-based design firm Studio Gorm's Flow is a perfect example. It features brilliant touches like a cutting board that slides forward to provide a cavity to dump food waste into the compost bin below; a place to hang your grocery bag when you first come home from shopping so you can unload directly; a dish rack positioned above potted plants and herbs, so the run-off water doesn't go to waste, but gives the plants life instead.

That dish rack over the plants is ridiculous. The dripping water, no matter how well you rinsed it, would still contain some soap molecules, and I can't imagine that's good for the plants.

Plus, the whole idea in the first place: "Don't waste those drops of water! That's like twenty drops of water right there! Save them or else the planet will be harmed!" Give me a break. This is over the top.

Great to see Studio Gorm get a review. I have seen this system up close and it is wonderful. However they are now based in Eugene Oregon. I am happy to count John Arndt and Wonhee Jeong as colleagues at the University of Oregon.
