White on white – kitchens a polar bear might enjoy

11.21.2009 · Posted in Kitchens

What’s that you say? Enough with the depressing polar bear stories, let’s see some kitchens already? Of course, dear reader, always happy to oblige.  But, just so that the bear is not forgotten, here is a collection of white on white kitchens. If my bear friend dropped in here, he might feel he’s right back in his snow cave:

These curves will remind him of the effect of wind and water on the ice-floes:

Ah yes, sandblasted glass, ice forming on water:

White and blue and white – what could be more welcoming for a visitor from the Arctic Circle?

White on white, great for polar bears. For humans, I think you need really strong shapes, or arresting accents, if you want to overcome the snow cave effect.  I had a white on white room once – it lasted about two weekends before it gained a rich red and blue Kazak rug and throw pillows. I admire the minimal aesthetic,  just can’t manage to live in it.
