About Totem Rafitra Lakozia

Ny Totem dia rafitra lakozia mitsangana ary azo ovaina araka ny filana. Ny singa tsirairay dia afaka mampiditra fatana, fifantsonana entona, frigidera, fandroahana, latabatra fanaovan-tsakafo, lavabo, fitaovana fanaovana kafe, milina fanasana vilia na fitoerana fitehirizana. Ny singa dia apetraka miorina ka ampifandraisina amin'ny fifamatorana ara-drafitra sy elektrika, ka azo ampiasaina eo amin'ny lafiny iray, roa, telo na efatra ny fitaovana. Ny fitoeran-javatra tsirairay dia manana sakany 650 mm sy halaliny 650 mm, ary miovaova arakaraka ny asa entiny ny hahavony. Any amin'ny toerana tsy misy filana fandehanan-drano, ny Totem dia afaka mampitaovana birao, trano fisakafoanana na trano kely.

Unique Properties: Combinable vertical kitchen system: the modules can be containers, ovens, extractor hood, refrigerator, hobs, counter tops, sink, coffee machine, dishwasher and what else is needed to set up a complete kitchen. if the drain connection is not needed, this kitchen combo can be placed practically anywhere and can be assembled as needed to furnish offices, canteen rooms, existing kitchens or solve space problems in small flats. It allows the use of its devices on 1, 2, 3 or even 4 fronts.
Dimensions & Packaging: Each container element: W 650mm
D 650mm
H Variable from 150 mm to 900 mm depending on the function housed
Tags: Flexibility, modularity, homescape, totem, kitchen, everywhere, minimal, spacesaving
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).
