The fascination of monolithic objects made of a single material has inspired Vincent van Duysen to apply this concept to his latest creation, the Intersection kitchen. A single material, natural stone, with which to create a unique, sculptural and architectural object.
Firstly, this project implies choosing a material that fits the purpose, natural stone, with the unique characteristics that Nature bestows, and secondly, using innovative technologies to achieve it, as is deducible from the doors of the bases, which open effortlessly to guarantee the utmost functionality. The natural stone slabs are machined and excavated with high precision mechanical processes, so as to lighten the panels and guarantee them for domestic use.
These monomaterial “shells”, subsequently applied to alveolar aluminium panels, guarantee that they are light, stable and mechanically resistant, thereby allowing a door to be built all in one with the side panels of the island. And the material nature of natural stone, with its unique and unrepeatable look, enters our homes with a spectacular application.
Technical characteristics:
-Finishes available for worktops, channels and doors: (pending a final check on the applicability of the various finishes of the range)
-The monomaterial concept, until now reserved for Intersection’s tops and channels, is now extended to doors and side panels as well
-It will not be possible to integrate dishwashers or to make storage columns, wall units or corner units
-Elegant machining on the external corner linking door and side panel
柜门上的几何镶嵌突出了木材的自然特征，并展示了漆面的可塑性，其设计让人联想起以几何比例结构的建筑。
厨房外观与光影相交创造出不同图案，实木台面与重要的可定制部分的轮廓设计巧妙，如同雕塑作品一般。
Vincent Van Duysen于1962年出生于比利时的洛克伦，毕业于根特的圣.卢卡斯高级建筑学院。 Vincent先生于1986年至1989年间分别工作于米兰和布鲁塞尔；在此后的1990年，他在安特卫普开设立自己的工作室，专注于建筑和室内设计。 在他的设计作品当中，室内设计和建筑设计之间的关系是十分深刻的：事实上家具和附属物品也以建筑设计的角度进行了考量，不限于形式但非常注重内部空间和其与外部建筑的关系。 Vincent先生的作品对建筑进行了重新诠释，重新定义了Van Duysen的尺寸，创建了具有极大纯洁度并保持具体特征和稳固基础形式的对象。
