Designed by Tom Dixon in collaboration with Danish artisan manufacturers, Ekoij – The TD Beam kitchen’s forward thinking design was drawn from the four elements – earth, water, fire, and air. The result is a free standing kitchen that entirely revolves around a central solid iron beam. It’s from this main beam that a series of customized cantilever planes protrude.

The cantilevers serve a dual purpose – functioning as work surfaces as well as points of attachment for free hanging appliances.

While the system is a delicate balance of positive and negative space, the designers selected a bold material palette of iron, brass, wood and aggregate stone to underscore the kitchen’s ‘hardworking nature’.

Recently, Switzerland based interior designer Roger Stüssi incorporated the TD Beam into the loft-like residence you see here.
