PROBLEMATIC SCENARIO
​In China’s megacities, young people often face high rent and the demanding 996 work model, leading to high-intensity and stressful urban lives that leave them physically and mentally exhausted. Although 72.7% of the target group eat alone at home and lack access to an independent kitchen due to limited space and inadequate water or power facilities, their cultural and emotional connection to food drives a growing need for compact and fully functional dining and cooking solutions.
​Concept
The mini-kitchen is suitable for a variety of scenarios and usage requirements.
Modular and Flexible
Simple and Orderly
Ergonomic and Wet–dry separation
Pattern A（1 set）:
The kitchen is on the same table
Double combination:
a modular kitchen unit + an additional storage unit
Pattern B（2 sets）:
The kitchen has a separate area
Adjustable brightness and color temperature
The warm white light with a color temperature of 3000K is suitable for dining, and the atmosphere is obviously different from the cold white light with a color temperature of 6500K.
