NEOTERIC CONCEPT DESIGN

A visually arresting sculptural kitchen

A concept for open plan entertaining spaces, Tipping Point appears to defy gravity, impossibly resting on a knife-edge.

The mirror-polished stainless steel enhances this kitchen’s appearance of weightlessness and creates long reflections of its environment.  The raised height of the outside level functions as a serving platform or bar ledge, for sociable moments.

“Tipping Point, in mirror-polished stainless steel, with outsize, handsomely figured reclaimed teak drawers. It combines a contemporary edge with a retro sci-fi vibe: Tipping Point wouldn’t look out of place on the bridge of the USS Enterprise. A kitchen island, Jim, but not as we know it.”

How To Spend It, Financial Times

Radical kitchen design in polished steel by Splinterworks

Entertain your guests

Tipping Point functions as a cooking stage with sink, draining board, dishwasher, induction hobs, storage, and all the necessary utilities. 

One arc features an integrated curved sink and drainer in reclaimed teak, prized for its resistance to water.  The opposite arc offers a cooking surface in black heatproof glass with induction hob.  Both parts echo the same curved drawers in dark walnut.

An outdoor kitchen

Reimagined here as an outdoor kitchen, complete with plancha, sink, outdoor fridges, storage, and outdoor dishwasher, Tipping Point is completely customisable to your requirements.

Our favourite mirror-polished stainless-steel creates fascinating long reflections of the landscape, while the marble counter and bar tops keep the surface cool and tactile.

This is a radical sculptural design with artistic impact, but the reflective mirror-polished steel means it is sensitive to its surroundings.
