Despite its constant presence at avant-garde Parisian design fairs, the 186-year-old French copper kitchenware brand Mauviel has always appeared rooted in the past. But Valérie Le Guern-Gilbert, a seventh generation of the Mauviel family, is now leading the brand into a new era, instigating collaborations with the likes of ECAL and, now, the dynamic young Parisian REV Architecture. Their first collaboration to see the light of day is the Transformer kitchen, launched this autumn and ‘designed to amplify the experience of Mauviel products though the extension of cooking culture and gestures’, according to REV co-founder Cristiano Benzoni. The mobile kitchen transforms from a copper box (‘like a Kubrick monolith’) to a galley fully kitted out with Mauviel kitchenware, with integrated preparation surfaces in oak and steel and a hob by Alpes Inox. All kitchens are made to order.
