Outdoor cooking with soul: Koe
I am a firm believer that outdoor space is not just an extension to the home but a space to add new experiences to daily urban life.
This probably explains why I find this Finnish design fabulous. Koe is a concept kitchen with various elements , designed with a single goal : create a 'kitchen ' that increases social involvement in homes
One element is a low table with integrated fire that allows one to sit, prepare and share food in a rather unique and most certainly inspiring way.
The concept includes a fan and umbrella to manage the wind and leverage the experience through the feel and smell. Finally his vertical garden on a movable U-shaped wall that also serves as a room divider or a screen. The plants grow in earth-filled pots attached to the screen. Bringing the garden inside the apartment gives us a chance to grow our own vegetables.
