About Totem Кухонная сістэма

Totem — гэта модульная вертыкальная кухонная сістэма. Кожны модуль можа ўключаць духавую шафу, вытяжку, халадзільнік, варачную паверхню, сталешню, ракавіну, кававарку, посудамыйную машыну або сховішча. Модулі складваюцца адзін на адны і злучаюцца праз канструкцыйныя і электрычныя злучэнні, што дазваляе выкарыстоўваць прыборы з адной, дзвух, трох або чатырох бакоў. Кожны модульны элемент мае шырыню 650 мм і глыбіню 650 мм, а вышыня змяняецца залежна ад функцыі, якую ён выконвае. У выпадках, калі не патрабуецца падключэнне да сістэмы водаадводу, Totem можа абсталёўваць офісы, сталовыя або невялікія кватэры.

Production Technology
The product consists of electrified container modules that can house all types of domestic appliances. Each of the modules is composed of a metal structure and a coating chosen in relation to the context and the functions to be housed. It is produced by assembling simple and modular extruded, pre-folded or calendered elements screwed together.
Design Challenge
The creative challenge was to configure a system that could adapt to all spaces and all positions, ensuring full efficiency and functionality in a small footprint. the choice of stackability and the great cleanliness of the design made it possible to reach a good compromise between the various issues involved.
Research
The research was based on the study of the minimum space of the various components and on the needs of the users in the various frequented spaces, from the home to the office, from the shop to the motorway restaurant, from the camper to the yacht. The second important topic to be addressed was precisely the technological problem: the possibility of stacking all the pieces regardless of the orientation of the interface and the order of overlapping.
Inspiration
The guiding image is the totem pole. A vertical element created by overlapping objects. In this case the objects have the possibility of working together through structural and electrical connections that allow them to be used in all directions.
The evolving lifestyle has guided the flexibility of use and the minimal and elegant style so that it can be positioned in all types of contexts, from the office to the motorway restaurant.
Project Duration
The project started in Febrary 2019 in Teramo and finished in Febrary 2022 in Teramo
Operation Flow
With this kitchen system you can compose your own service tools as you want. It can be placed anywhere and integrated into any kind of space. The presence of the UPS (the battery that allows it to work even without the mains power supply) also allows to guarantee operation during blackouts (allowing for example not to interrupt the cold chain of food).
