Johnny Grey speaks
On the heels of my post about Johnny Grey the day past, Johnny sent me the subsequent:
An invitation to study the Post Culinary Kitchen
When you have designed approximately five hundred kitchens or something like that, and I have been designing kitchens for too long to mention, then what keeps you going? I can answer in one word. Curiosity. Never being quite content with what you do and always feeling you need to know more is not an anxiety condition but a necessity for mental health and belief in the future. It is also a truth to say that there is always more to find out.
Now that the kitchen has become a multi-purpose, de-constructed space, does anybody know what it really is anymore? Are there any rules and where is it going? These questions pre-occupy me. I have coined the phrase the Post-Culinary kitchen to explore the kitchen current state and start a dialogue with colleagues, householders, anyone who lives in their kitchen and yes, bloggers too.
Wikipedia defines ‘Post-modern’ as an aesthetic, literary, political or social philosophy, an attempt to describe a condition, or a state of being, or something concerned with changes to institutions and conditions. It describes it as a "cultural and intellectual phenomenon", especially since the 1920s' new movements in the arts. It is a good a place to start as any for discussions on the future of the kitchen.

The light fixture at the top of the page is by Ingo Maurer , another one of my design heroes. According to Johnny, Maurer's Shattered China light fixtures sum up the idea of a deconstructed kitchen perfectly. Here here! says Paul
