The era of the buffet
Formerly, the kitchens are not functional as they are now. The furniture was made of solid wood by carpenters. The furnishings included a sideboard with shelves and doors. On the buffet, they placed a shallower cabinet, with doors too, it was used for washing.
Margarete Schütte-Lihotsky
About 1927, the first female Austrian architect, Margarete Schütte-Lihotsky creates a kitchen more functional and modern - the Frankfurt Kitchen. The idea of space was predominant in the creation of this model kitchen. First, it separated the buffet and the top shelf. She approached low furniture such as stove, sink and buffet. It equalized their respective heights - to achieve a practical work plan. A principle of rationality for the kitchen was established.
The next step was to establish standards of height corresponding to the average person likely to work in this kitchen. To highlight an average height to equalize the furniture for the kitchen becomes more functional.
The thirties brought industrial development. This new type of cooking was part very well in the movement of the machining range. Productivity increases and prices become more affordable - because the old furniture made by carpenters were very expensive.
