Inspired by the common powder-coated wire frame dish drying rack, Jan Jannes Kitchenette concept expands the idea into four separate kitchen modules for washing, drying, cutting and cooking respectively.
Kitchenette was Jannes' graduation project and remains a concept only, but it does prompt us to consider the bare function of the kitchen, from which every other element is just an extension. It also makes us nostalgic for the '70s drying rack in our childhood home.

Bare Function is a good term for this. This is on the verge of completely useless. Although it is a brilliant piece of critical design.
Wow that's fugly.
What an incredible amount of wasted space.
I agree with all of the above comments, but for some reason, I STILL like it. I think it's the level of creative, alternative thought that had to happen to create this concept.
Is this meant for a camping blog?
Goodness, no. The wire frame drying racks are not attractive, so why would an entire kitchen be?
We have a bright red drying rack, living in a rental apartment without a dishwasher, and we searched high and low for a rack that would be even reasonably attractive since it was going to be out constantly.
They don't exist, unfortunately. I like the idea of this, though.
wow, that would be a pain to clean and any spills would get everywhere.
This is beautiful. It's a food space. I would love a kitchen like this.
Creative, yes... but I'm a believer in the idea that function needs to come first in order for something to be well "designed"....
Also... would the "cooking" one even meet building code???
I like this as an academic exercise or creative endeavor, but not as a practical kitchen setup.
