From the site: "Nowadays, the kitchen gets purity of lines and openable spaces. Far from the industrial plastic toaster, I wanted to create something more unique by a contemporary approach of material. As for the design, I wanted something which disregarded the product itself by puting forward the visual impact. I used 2 white thermoformed patches of corian suggesting paper that would have been creased by heat. Their thin thickness shows a game of shadows and lights while underlining lines fold in a sensual way . This micro-architecture then becomes an ornamental element ; an image, a unique work."
