MINIKITCHEN

Mobile kitchen cube on wheels. “Things have to be flexible,” said Colombo in 1966. “My kitchen can be moved around or out of a room and when you are finished with it, it closes up like a box.”. Minikitchen is a complete unit on wheels and electrically powered that comprises everything that is needed in a kitchen, even if in miniature: refrigerator, stove, drawers for pots and dishes for 6 people, pull-out tray, sockets for small electric appliances and cutting boards. It won the silver medal at the XIII Triennale di Milano in 1964 and was exhibited at the MoMA in the legendary 1972 exhibition ‘Italy: The New Domestic Landscape’; today it’s part of the permanent collection
