Restaurant theater kitchens
Open kitchens are restaurant kitchens visible to diners, allowing them to watch food being prepared.
The design signals transparency and theatricality—chefs become performers, and the cooking process becomes part of the dining experience.
In home design, an open kitchen lacks walls separating it from living or dining areas: We removed the wall to create an open kitchen.
