There were plenty of examples of a ‘mix and match’ approach to materials at Cologne’s Living Kitchen exhibition including some cleverly contrasting options from Rational


GERMAN


kitchen brand Rational


launched a host of new products at Living Kitchen in Cologne recently, the highlight of which was perhaps its Cult range. Accentuating the latest penchant for mixing and experimenting with different materials, Cult offers a kitchen of contrasts. On the one hand, distinctly grained rough- cut oak veneer offers a somewhat rustic and wholly natural look and feel, whilst on the other, 6mm thick ceramic sliding door fronts provide an altogether different texture. Ceramic is lighter than aluminium but


harder than granite and is, says Rational, as easy to work with as glass. It can be used on a wide variety of kitchen furniture applications including sliding doors, worksurfaces and extractor hoods as it is easy to maintain and highly durable. Behind the sliding doors is the ‘kitchen


workshop’ with well-considered organization system and layout. Rational also highlighted a number of other new additions to its range at Living Kitchen, including new colours for the Tio kitchen, wall-mounted base units and numerous additional options for its Onda and Neos collections. designer
