As part of a year-long collaboration the first design titled “Ice” was unveiled at the Interior Design Show in Toronto in January. Dixon drew inspiration from the jagged pieces of ice left over when Canada’s frozen lakes are cleared by icebreakers during the winter. Seats with sharp geometrical edges are paired with slicksurfaced worktops in bleak shades ranging from Vanilla Noir to Statuario Nuvo and an appropriately named ‘Melt’ lighting, create a coldly industrial setting. Ice kitchen is the first of four kitchens themed around the elements of Ice, Fire, Earth and Air. The concept also celebrates local foods from four chosen cities. The next design will be based on Milan, and will be unveiled in April during the city’s design week. The final two designs will be revealed later in the year in North America and Asia.
