The Kitchen – Where function meets pleasure

As part of a wide-ranging reflection on the living environment, addressing design through its various uses and based on concrete cases, curator, urban planner and art historian Jolanthe Kugler explores the historical and societal dimension of emblematic kitchen objects, highlighting the evolution of representations linked to this seemingly banal room. Launched by mudac—the Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts in Lausanne—Raddar is a series of texts dedicated to design research. Scholarly and provocative, poetic and disruptive, Raddar presents new interpretations of the defining role of design in today’s culture.
