Kitchens have always reflected how we live. From the tightly optimized Frankfurt Kitchen to the open plans of mid-century modernism, their evolution tracks shifting ideas about labor, visibility, and domestic life. Today’s kitchens sit somewhere in between—spaces designed for efficiency, gathering, and long-term use rather than trends alone.

Working across scales—from buildings to furniture—allows architectural ideas to become more precise. The Elevator Coffee Table and Kenzan Dining Table translate structure, movement, and adaptability into everyday objects designed to support the evolving ways we live, gather, and inhabit space.
