Incredible Modern Barcelona R House With Equally Stunning Kitchen By Bulthaup.

The R House by architect Arturo Frediani in Cabrera de Mar, Barcelona is a beautifully designed modern home in a geometric shape that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea.






Designed with environmentally friendly construction materials (mainly glass, iron and wood), 80% of the home can be reused. Individual sections of the home were designed to use as little energy consumption as possible and the home was easily assembled.






With a living space open to the outdoors, the footprint creates an interior courtyard allowing one to gaze across one portion of the home to another.








Adding to both the beauty and the design is a spectacular kitchen and living space designed by Bulthaup.

Vipp Is Really Cookin'. The New Vipp Kitchen Is All Here In Black and White.

You probably think of trash bins when you think of Vipp. Now, they've got a kitchen to compliment it.




Since the creation of the bin in 1939, Vipp has become synonymous with quality products for the kitchen and bathroom. Now, the Danish company presents one of its most sensational product developments - a radical reinterpretation of the kitchen.





“Vipp’s experience lies within product design focusing on solid materials, mechanics and function. As a consequence we have chosen to design the Vipp kitchen as a product or rather as a piece of furniture.






The result is a range of kitchen modules where choices have already been made based on a thorough knowledge of materials combined with an aesthetic opinion on what constitutes good design.” – chief designer at Vipp, Morten Bo Jensen.




Vipp’s more than 70 years of experience within the processing of steel makes stainless steel an evident choice of material in the development of the Vipp kitchen. “Like with the Vipp bin, we bring the industrial look into the home with the new kitchen – a solid product, standing to be used day after day.” - Morten Bo Jensen.








A range of modules in different sizes can be combined and arranged according to individual needs. The complete Vipp kitchen concept unfolds in every detail. Even fixtures, drawer pulls and inserts, range hood as well as gas knobs are developed in respect of Vipp’s design DNA, injecting a functional and visual cohesiveness into the kitchen.







The Vipp kitchen is available in black and white and is sold in the Vipp Flagship Store in Copenhagen, Denmark. Information about US availability expected soon.
