The kitchen represented in its day, the introduction of a rational furniture design, electric light, as well as functionality and time savings in terms of movements.
Darya von Berner changes the design of this first ‘modern kitchen’ in her intervention, if lightbulbs replaced candles and kerosene lamps in former times, today a supple and flexible light tape is used to trace paths on floor and kitchen furniture surfaces.
This new lighting technology (Light Tape®) is more environmental friendly than LED light, hundred meters of light tape use in fact less energy than a conventional 100 Watt light bulb.
However, it was Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky´s open and flexible thinking that developed new concepts. In turn these concepts required new technologies which over time became environmentally more and more integrated into the world we are living in today.
