Bon Appétit & Brizo Present Counter Culture

My name's Alison Cayne, and I own a recreational

cooking school called Haven's Kitchen.

My name's Athena Calderone, I have an interior design

firm and a lifestyle blog called Eye Swoon.

I'm Jordan Bahler

and I'm an industrial designer for Brizo.

If a house is a body, the kitchen is the heart.

I think that Scandinavian and anything

coming out of Denmark is kind of on my radar

and I think it has been for a while.

Open shelving has made me a better cook

because I can grab quickly,

I know exactly what I have and what I'm using

and what I'm not using.

Designing for the kitchen is really kind of

a two fold type assignment.

Sometimes we're not going for new technology or innovation,

it's as simple as find a design for this certain aesthetic.

As far as innovation technology, that's actually really

exciting part of design 'cause it's problem solving.

I think some of the most beautiful kitchens

I've seen lately are these almost like ship galley kitchens,

so if you do have that small space,

make it really functional.

Articulated was our latest launch and I love it

because it looks like an architect's lamp

and an inspiration story is just great

but functionality of it, you no longer have to put like

your awkward-shaped pot in your sink

and try to find the sweet spot to let it fill,

you can just position it.

Our whole mission at Haven's Kitchen is to make people

feel comfortable in the kitchen and to make cooking

something that they actually want to do.

I feel like I found myself and my creativity

in the kitchen, it's where ideas are born

and friendships are made.
