apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Uggh.

Why would anyone want something so stark and cold as the Solaris in a home? I could see it in an instutional setting, maybe. But I can't see it winning any decor awards. I like modern, but this is just fugly to me. That said, I do like their "Supreme" design.

This is horrible. It would be at home in a lab or in an ME operating room. Much to clinical for a kitchen. Although it might work in a frat house.

I don't know, I kind of like it. I live in a loft and have and island with a cooktop, this isn't much different. I picture it against a backdrop of floor to ceiling glass and rich wood cabinets, maybe with some open shelving, etc. to offset the starkness of it.

I picture it with a corpse being autopsied. If I could afford rich wood cabinets I wouldn't put this anywhere near them. But that's just me.

Corian sucks.

Bravo, Henrietta.

I love it for my loft studio. I wanted to put in a kitchenette but they all look so boring and boxey. This gels with the look of my studio worktables. Too bad that I probably can't afford it.

Didn't I see this on CSI??

Looks like something that gives high colonics...

It's not homey but i love it and would put it in my home any day. I hate clutter and love stream-lined modern. Anything simple, sleek, and airy, i dig. There are so many other things you could add to the design and whats around it to make things more plush and warm.

Of course in a studio it looks like a lab!

Wow -- no storage under the counter, and thanks to the design, you can't put cupboards over the whole counter either. Just what every small apartment needs: less kitchen storage.

i'm a very visual person and admit i get the creeps looking at this unit.. i'm reminded of the jeremy irons movie 'dead ringers'. oh, dear. and brava to wende in phoenix!

I think is simply an incredible good design.
