CENTRO Modern Furnishings- Lunch + Learn Week 34 2010



The other day Todd and Ginny from Centro Modern Furnishings came out to our office and spoke with Susan, Fifi, Dave and me of some great products that bring warmth and modernism into the home. We went over of the importance of great design allowing function to play a major role in the piece itself. We also spoke in depth of the research the trained designers go through to create such inviting pieces. It was stated it is not just science, but the mixture of art and science behind the design that makes the product an investment.
A few pieces that were targeted in our discussion:

Q. What makes a kitchen gourmet?

A. A gourmet kitchen is as simple as “it’s all in the chef”. However, it helps to have a good working space. Layout is important. The kitchen “triangle” can help the worker to be come the master of their domain. To create the cooking triangle the refrigerator, stove and sink are all wedge into a working and counter space with in close proximity, allowing the chef to everything needed right at their fingertips.
