This cunning kitchen design from Studio GORM is a self-contained module that uses the way the shelves and racks are arranged to maximize the automatic flow of, not electricity or smells as usual, but nutrients. It simply needs plumbing -in and can then work in any small space.
This ecosystem is brushed-up and slick enough to work in any home, however modernist. It takes away the homespun look of many wormeries and kitchen gardens and replaces it with GORM aesthetic of clean lab-like lines, powder coated steel and clean-cut wood.
What makes this giant piece of cooking apparatus so delightful is the fact it is a functioning ecosystem, in your very own home!
With the addition of live organisms (firstly live plants, secondly worms), the usual night-time bin treks are eliminated for scraps and cuttings. Instead, the waste is tidily composted (by said worms), before returning to feed delicious herbs (or ‘erbs, up to you), which are conveniently watered, by dripping dishes. What’s more it makes your movement around the kitchen flow more easily (making you less likely to drop knives or burn eggs).
The aptly-named Flow Kitchen has also been released as a more developed Flow 2 model, which uses the same super-smart symbiosis concept and arrangement, with slightly heavier specifications and an incorporated cooker.
It will, quite literally, grow on you.
