The “Kitchen Satellite” by Luigi Colani, 1969. An exercise in extreme ergonomics, Luigi Colani’s kitchen was designed to have everything at arm’s length. The kitchen pod would connect to the main house. His “kitchen satellite” from 1969 is a prominent example of his ergonomic “biodynamic” school of thought and his love affair with rounded forms:
“The earth is round, all the heavenly bodies are round; they all move on round or elliptical orbits. This same image of circular globe-shaped mini worlds orbiting around each other follows us right down to the microcosmos. We are even aroused by round forms in species propagation related eroticism. Why should I join the straying mass who want to make everything angular? I am going to pursue Galileo Galilei’s philosophy: my world is also round.” — Luigi Colani
