La Cucina Alessi Kitchens

In another life, I will live in a sleek, modern loft where I can have one of these cool kitchens designed by Alessandro Mendini for Alessi. These four kitchens are part of the La Cucina Alessi project, which is a collaborative effort of Alessi itself and Italian companies Foster and Valcucine and Finnish company Oras.

Futuristic Kitchen

Gizmag has an article on a futuristic kitchen designed by architect Zaha Hadid. It is on display in the Guggenheim Museum in New York.

The exquisite Z. Island is equipped with numerous futuristic features such as embedded heating membranes, touch control panels, sound activators and scent dispensers, LED lighting and a multimedia entertainment system, including a flat screen and an Apple Macintosh Mini for serving iTunes.

Sounds awesome. I want one.

The Perfect Kitchen Vacuum

We are always searching for the perfect kitchen vacuum. Currently our "vacuum wand" is not cutting the mustard nor dicing vegetables too well - if you get what we mean. This Miele isn't cheap at $499 but does look like it has all the settings and power we might need for a long term vacuum relationship.

Miele designed this vacuum to offer the power and quality of its larger vacuums in an exceptionally lightweight, compact design for maximum maneuverability. Choose among six power settings using a rotary dial on the canister, then use the deluxe handle, contoured to offer a comfortable grip, to guide the air-driven turbo brush head. The head gently lifts and removes dirt from low- and medium-pile rugs, while the straight-suction floor tool whisks up dirt on smooth floors. An advanced HEPA filter keeps ambient air clean. For quick access, tools store directly on the machine's telescoping wand. A long 29" cord offers maximum range.

Jetsons Kitchen for Your Home

Wow. It's big - impressive and looks like it's from the Jetsons. What's not to like? The Podium Kitchen III is an oval shaped kitchen island that allows for the highest amount of creative expression in the kitchen along with the biggest wallet needed to purchase it. It can function as a wok, induction cook top, solid top, water basin, and has cold bottle drawers. Amazing.

Kitchen in the Round from Snaidero

Why wouldn't you want a round kitchen? It's like having a huge kitchen drum set where you can rock out with a little stir fry, salad, and perhaps an apple peeling extravaganza.

The Round Kitchen is designed for the center of a room to create a total ergonomic environment. Living in a circle or walking around the kitchen while one cooks takes an entire new meaning with the round kitchen.

Weekend Reading: Renovating your Kitchen

Having just gone through a kitchen renovation I found this page and set of projects to be really helpful in learning about renovation in general.

"Renovating your kitchen is usually the most cost effective upgrade you can do to your home. Even in an old house, most people opt to renovate or replace rather than restore - I like the look of old coal burning or wood-burning stoves, but I want my dishwasher and garbage disposal, thank you very much. But, you can replace your kitchen in a way that is still sensitive to the age of your house."

El-Vis Screw Stool

Currently we've been sitting on an old stool we acquired for cheap at IKEA. Everyday I sit on the thing I pray it's the last day I have to. We've been looking around for something different in the stool category for the kitchen and we think we've found it. The El-Vis Screw Stool is a stool that has a screw-off top revealing a deep, dark hole into which you can place items like kitchen gadgets, cucumbers, or perhaps secret documents. It's also moderately price fro $79.99 at Target.

Marco Mammoliti Dante Faucet

When I see a faucet like these from Marco Mammoliti, I just want to rip out all the faucets in my kitchen and start all over. Each faucet has a cool name like Evolution and Dante, and each of the Italian made wonders looks like it came from outer space. Prices are in the $350+ range, but most decent kitchen faucets cost this much. Beam me up Mr. Marco - I want one of these (oh and I'll miss you scotty).
