Boffi Mini Kitchen
In the late 60’s, architect & designer Joe Colombo designed a series of objects he called Total Living Units. Some of them were perfect for use in kitchens. The Boffi Mini-Kitchen evolved from this and was designed by Colombo for Paolo Boffi. The Carrellone mini-kitchen was unveiled at the 13th Milan Triennale in 1964. Now over forty years later, it has made a stylish come-back! It is made from white Corian and maintains the original design. It is everything you need in a kitchen: stove, fridge, can opener, drawers for your tableware, working surfaces and storage compartments, and it functions using only one single electrical plug. I love it because it’s minimalistic and yet fully functional as a kitchen…perfect for the trendy bachelor/ette. If you are interested, check out the Boffi showroom in Yaletown.

Very useful mini kitchen!
The role of a designer probably came into existence in the 1720s in Western Europe, mostly being performed by men of diverse backgrounds. William Kent, who was trained as a history painter, is often cited as the first person to take charge of an entire interior, including internal architecture, furniture selection, and the hanging of paintings.
Thanks for the comment. I love it when comments actually contribute & not just praise
