Versatility in the kitchen and beyond - bulthaup system 20

Whatever the furnishing requirements of the home, system 20 fulfils the need for flexibility in the kitchen and other living spaces. The free-standing modular elements of system 20 can be combined as desired and positioned in virtually any spatial environment.

The patented pylon system of aluminium-alloy supports is a defining feature of bulthaup system 20. This product range introduces a new dimension in the relationship between design and construction. The system's technological appeal follows the principles of industrial design emphasised by designer Herbert H. Schultes. Its crimped aluminium side panels provide a striking example: these recesses enhance the sturdiness of system 20 elements and accentuate the sensual appeal of its modern design.

The modular elements of system 20 are visually appealing from any perspective, hence the choice of aluminium and stainless steel materials plays a central role in their design. The character of system 20 is distinctive, yet it can be readily integrated into any living space. system 20 elements fulfil a variety of functions and are supplied with either an aluminium or black linoleum front.

When introducing the system in 1997, Gerd Bulthaup declared, "We have liberated the kitchen for the good of our customers." In contrast to conventional kitchen furnishings, the modules of system 20 feature either feet or castors, allowing them to be easily transported or repositioned to suit the changing daily routines of the people they serve. Moreover, they can be acquired gradually, one element at a time, to furnish the kitchen and adjacent living spaces.

With the modular elements of system 20, bulthaup moves beyond the standard functions of the kitchen, comprising washing up, cooking and integrated electrical appliances. Storage elements can be used in place of a living room cabinet. A preparation element featuring an "appliance garage" with aluminium shutter can be used as a bar or mobile service unit.

Freedom in design is the underlying principle of system 20. Its design strictly adheres to the benefits people can derive from the Bauhaus principle of "form follows function", eliminating the constraints of planning and moving beyond architectonic boundaries. Its modular elements are independent of walls, ceilings and floors. With system 20, the basis of kitchen planning becomes the interplay of various elements, a question of personal preference and custom, an expression of individual style limited only by the customer's creativity. system 20 satisfies all the requirements of a kitchen without being a kitchen in the conventional sense.

system 20 opens up new realms of possible uses: a simple push positions the mobile preparation element into the centre of the kitchen or the middle of a garden grill party. The waste disposal element is a modern system for separating waste, yet its generous storage space makes it an excellent mobile complement to the bar. system 20 is ideal for offices, where it serves alternatively as a meeting or catering service point. These multipurpose free-standing elements, featuring integrated power outlets and generous storage space, are the perfect starting point in creating the office of the future.

In the kitchen, office, living or bedroom - system 20 is versatility itself. At bulthaup, living space is understood in holistic terms and is planned accordingly by architects and kitchen planners - and customers whose fantasy represents the only limitation to the almost infinite variety of design possibilities.
