bulthaup<\/a> creates unique kitchens and living spaces in which\u00a0traditional craftsmanship melds with state-of-the-art manufacturing. They consider all key aspects of ergonomics, aesthetics and production in each custom-designed and custom-made kitchen. We interview\u00a0Roland Spieth, Director of Export Sales at Bulthaup GmbH & Co.\u00a0about the bulthaup philosophy.<\/p>\n

A: Could you describe bulthaup\u2019s design philosophy?<\/strong>
\nRS:\u00a0<\/strong>At bulthaup, we live and breathe the conviction that many people think has been abandoned: the\u00a0conviction of architects and designers who do not just design furniture, but are also creating a\u00a0personal vision, a glimpse, if you will, of their own worlds.\u00a0This is the reason that bulthaup is renowned for creating architecture of living spaces that go beyond\u00a0the kitchen area. It is through this reputation that international standards have been set, innovations\u00a0have been created which are comparable only to the finest products in terms of form and function\u00a0that were born of the Bauhaus tradition.\u00a0Our understanding is that products have to be quiet rather than loud, timeless rather than\u00a0following fashion\u00a0trends and minimalistic instead of ornamental. bulthaup does not follow any current trends, but we\u00a0follow our way of timeless design, highest requirements when it comes to quality and function as well\u00a0as precision to the smallest detail. We concentrate on the essential and thus create minimalistic\u00a0products through simple and authentic materials, colours and clear lines.<\/p>\n

A: Do you find that breaking down your designs into sections (b1, b2, b3) helps to identify a\u00a0<\/strong>customer\u2019s lifestyle and individual aesthetic quicker than with a traditional bespoke service?
\n<\/strong>RS:\u00a0<\/strong>With our systems bulthaup b3 \u2013 the kitchen living space, bulthaup b2 \u2013 the kitchen workshop and\u00a0bulthaup b1 \u2013 the essential kitchen we clearly define diverse types of kitchens that correspond to the\u00a0lifestyle of different types of individuals.\u00a0The bulthaup b3 product line offers unbeatable versatility. Instead of focusing on conventional floor\u00a0plans, bulthaup b3 makes active use of the walls. Elements can be hung as desired from the bulthaup\u00a0b3 multi-function wall, creating open spaces that interact with the living area and the people who live\u00a0there. The floating effect is underlined by thin materials and streamlined forms that emphasise the\u00a0horizontal \u2013 whether the elements are floor-standing, foot-supported or wall-mounted.\u00a0bulthaup b2 looks at kitchens and the use of space within them from a fresh perspective. It offers a\u00a0unique combination of kitchen workbench, tool cabinet and appliance cabinet. These\u00a0elements can be used to create a personal, yet unmistakably bulthaup environment where simple,\u00a0clear-cut forms meet logical, practical function. bulthaup b2 can be mixed and matched as individually\u00a0desired.\u00a0bulthaup b1 is the \u201cessential kitchen\u201d, a blend of the functionalist tradition prevalent in Scandinavia,\u00a0Japan and the USA with Germany\u2019s Bauhaus style. It was designed and built for the growing number of\u00a0people who have a keen eye for elegance of form and quality of construction.\u00a0bulthaup b1 is for people who want a kitchen that is young and fresh in terms of appearance, features\u00a0and pricing.<\/p>\n

A: Do you find that your customers are demanding a wider selection of unique and natural\u00a0<\/strong>materials to be featured within their living spaces?
\n<\/strong>RS:\u00a0<\/strong>Wood becomes more and more popular as this natural and vibrant material adds an individual touch to\u00a0each living space.\u00a0Wooden kitchens are a key feature of bulthaup and many customers choose bulthaup\u00a0because of the extraordinarily\u00a0high quality of\u00a0our wooden kitchens. Kitchen fronts\u00a0and doors are very popular in veneer, as wood brings in warmth.\u00a0Sensuous lightness in the kitchen is not only communicated through technical innovations,\u00a0but also through the care and skill of the craftsman. At bulthaup, we go one step further,\u00a0creating special, custom-built, veneered fronts. The veneer is selected from a\u00a0single tree trunk and processed with painstaking care. The grain of the wood continues\u00a0flawlessly over the entire front either in horizontal or vertical direction.\u00a0The advantages of manufacturing and industrial production are combined and make it possible to\u00a0create a unique level of quality for the front surface and edge finishing, making this front easy to take\u00a0care of and scratch-resistant.<\/p>\n

A: Design has become an integral part of the global marketing dialogue; do you find that\u00a0<\/strong>specific markets are more interested in buying into bulthaup?
\n<\/strong>RS:\u00a0<\/strong>People who accept no compromise regarding the aesthetics of functional design, material authenticity,\u00a0quality craftsmanship, technical precision, timeless originality and durability will feel at home in the\u00a0world of bulthaup.\u00a0We work together with more than 400 exclusive bulthaup partners worldwide. Every bulthaup partner\u00a0is a specialist who is familiar with the cultural background of his market and his customer\u2019s demands\u00a0on design.\u00a0Therefore, our customers can rest assured that their individual requirements are included in their own\u00a0kitchen planning and in their bulthaup kitchen.<\/p>\n

A: Over the past 50 years there has been a socio-behavioural switch in the function that the\u00a0<\/strong>kitchen plays in the home; currently kitchens are considered as multifunctional living\u00a0<\/strong>environments, within the ecosystem of the home. Do you see this trend persisting, or do you\u00a0<\/strong>anticipate a reversal towards individual use of spaces?
\n<\/strong>RS:\u00a0<\/strong>Cooking, food, taste and quality have become more important for people. More and more customers\u00a0want their kitchen to be an integral part of their living area.\u00a0The boundary between the kitchen and the living space continues to blur.\u00a0Consequently the role of kitchen furniture changes and has to fulfil more than just functional\u00a0demands. This development can be seen everywhere in the world.\u00a0For bulthaup, a kitchen is the cultural centre of a house and should not be \u201chidden\u201d.\u00a0If you buy a bulthaup kitchen, you not only buy the furniture for storing, preparing and cooking your\u00a0daily meals, but also a place for living. The integration of a kitchen in an overall\u00a0architectural concept of a house or an apartment requires a decent design of all elements.\u00a0If the kitchen is a part of your living room, you do not want to see all appliances or daily used kitchen\u00a0accessories all the time. However, you might also desire to display some of your\u00a0personal belongings and this again requires intelligent and flexible solutions. The goal is not just to\u00a0hide away your kitchen, but to make it an integral and admirable part of your interior architecture.<\/p>\n
