joe colombo's modular kitchen

hey guys i though my favorite design was going to be the modular
kitchen by Joe Colombo.

He was on of the worlds most influential product designers during the
1970's and still today we see his work being expressed through others.
The modular kitchen was one of his many famous designs, but this one
stood out the most for me because it was a design that we still see
people today imitating, it has revolutionized how we build our houses
and apartments and think about saving that extra space. the modular
kitchen was made for a small living environment, such as a city based
apartment. It contains every necessary house hold appliance and
sleeping quarters built into one unit, which can be removed and taken
apart if necessary. the design of the unit is outstanding everything
fits together well in an overall form. The vibrant colors make the
design appeal to its viewers to make it seem like something from the
future. Joe's base idea was to design a universal unit which would
maximize the amount of space saved for a small apartment.
