Sampan Vision: The Future of Luxury Kitchen Design

A Modern Kitchen Island Inspired by Historical Traditions

A look at historical pictures of the port of Aberdeen, Hong Kong, inspired Kharchenko Design Studio to create the "Sampan Vision" kitchen island. Drawing inspiration from the floating markets and houseboats of the past, this design combines tradition with modernity to create a unique and luxurious kitchen experience.

The "Sampan Vision" is not just a kitchen island; it is a vision of the future of kitchen design. With its spacious layout and innovative electrical accessories, this kitchen sets a new standard for luxury and comfort. The island is the centerpiece, resembling a modern sampan floating in the middle of the living space. Its characteristic roof invites family and guests to gather, prepare fresh culinary delights, and enjoy the company.

What sets the "Sampan Vision" apart from other kitchen designs is its attention to detail and unique features. The polished stainless steel elements give the kitchen a sleek and elegant look, while the polished aluminum tabletop adds a touch of sophistication. Integrated backlighting beneath the tabletop creates a mesmerizing glow, with the color depending on the kitchen's overall theme. The facades of the kitchen are made of high-quality plastic and MDF plates, ensuring durability and style.

The dimensions of the island are 5071mm x 1273mm x 920mm, providing ample space for cooking and entertaining. The kitchen, including the worktop, measures 4570mm x 650mm, while the cabinets housing the coffee machine, oven, and microwave are 4216mm x 332 - 600mm.

Functionality is key in the "Sampan Vision" kitchen. Equipped with full electric control, everything operates with a simple touch or wave of the hand. The kitchen comes alive, illuminating with a luxurious glow, leaving no one indifferent. It seamlessly integrates with the living room, becoming the central gathering place for family and guests to admire its design and uniqueness.

The "Sampan Vision" project started in June 2018 in Kiev, Ukraine, and was completed in July 2018 in Vlotho, Germany. The complex lines and intricate design required extensive research and development, resulting in a truly luxurious and limited-edition kitchen.

Kharchenko Design Studio is known for their commitment to luxury and quality. The "Sampan Vision" kitchen is a testament to their dedication to creating exclusive products for the most discerning customers. With its blend of modern vision, cutting-edge technology, and classical traditions, this kitchen sets a new standard for luxury living.

The "Sampan Vision" kitchen design has been recognized for its excellence, receiving the Bronze A' Design Award in 2019. This prestigious award acknowledges the outstanding creativity and ingenuity of the design, as well as its contribution to improving quality of life through art, science, design, and technology.
