“Altered States” sees a collaboration between leading quartz manufacturer Caesarstone and New York firm Snarkitecture, exploring the core theme of the kitchen island. Snarkitecture was inspired by the changing states of water in nature, through glaciers, rivers, and geysers, and in the kitchen, through ice, water, and steam. The installation consists of a central circular kitchen island, exhibiting the changing states of water through ice, liquid, and steam. Meanwhile, a surrounding “amphitheater” consists of over 250 Caesarstone and metal mesh pedestals, creating a white/grey gradient to emulate the appearance of a natural landscape.
