The pure essence of brutalism is on display in this kitchen, where the raw honesty of materials and the hard determination of minimalist forms dominate. This interior exudes a sense of power where every line is purposeful, every material is real and nothing tries to look like more than it is. The roughness of concrete and the natural strength of wood form a harmonious contrast that embodies the essential elements of modern masculine design. There is no room for ornamentation here – only function, strength and raw beauty remain.
If I’ve already introduced feminine notes to the previous kitchen because of its brutalist character, with Scandinavian elements and carefully placed decorations creating a warm, homely atmosphere, now let’s look at the simplicity of brute force.
This interior is a pure manifestation of brutalism, where the use of raw, untreated concrete and light wood immediately catches the eye. Concrete is the dominant material in the kitchen, reinforcing the Brutalist style with its stark, industrial look. The light raw wood counterpoints this, bringing warmth to the austere space while faithfully preserving the raw simplicity of brutalism.
The metal, especially the black tubular shelving system, serves as a structural element, further enhancing the space’s industrial feel. The whole colour scheme is clean and monochromatic: the contrast of grey concrete and light wood is the essence of the design. The aesthetic value here is not in the decorative elements, but in the natural texture of the materials themselves – the roughness of the concrete and the grain of the wood.
The design of the interior is simple and angular, the lines clean and pure. This solid, austere design gives the kitchen a strong, masculine character. Everything is visible and functional, giving the space a strong minimalist feel. The decoration is replaced by the utensils themselves: the utensils and utensils on the open shelves are a decoration in themselves.
This interior can be ideal for those looking for simplicity, functionality and timeless solidity in their home. It could be perfect for people who love industrial aesthetics and are not afraid of harsher materials. Those with a minimalist lifestyle who prefer clean, well-organised spaces would certainly feel at home in this kitchen.
