This blog is about an old kitchen owned and designsd for Chloë Cheese by Andrew Holmes. It featured in a print of hers. Its a wonderful design and shows what can be done with a little imagination. I wonder where it is now?
This axonometric drawing by Andrew Holmes was for the kitchen of illustrator Chloë Cheese. Holmes works in many different mediums and is often concerned with the anonymous mobile infrastructure of cities. The design appears to show the different combination of layouts for the units, with movable trolleys for work surfaces and shelving. Holmes and Cheese were both in shows at the Thumb Gallery in London in the early 1980’s; however they had works in different exhibitions.
Although it was designed in 1981 it is reminiscent of the bold lines and strong primary colours of a Mondrian painting. Piet Mondrian’s distinctive aesthetic is still symbolic of what is considered to be ‘Modern’ art.
