Copper, natural wood and marble invade float.
M
A radically innovative proposal hoping to return the kitchen its status as a fully habitable space by means of a logical and rational language appealing directly to emotions.
Float generates a landscape of hybrid furniture adapting naturally to a variety of spaces, bridging the gap and strengthening bonds between the kitchen and the living room.
The central leg of the island, just like a sculpture or an artwork, supports the floating sink.
Particularly suitable for teamwork. Removable drawer and trays provide access to utensils from either side of the island.
Float speaks the language of classicism but through the sieve of modernity, an aesthetic grounded on new materials, new finishes and new production methods.

FLOAT, a designer kitchen
FLOAT relinquishes all of the technological excesses and breaks with the rigidity prevailing in modern kitchens: every piece is a detached, mobile island which can be integrated in open spaces and no longer obliges us to stare at the wall while cooking.
FLOAT is a kitchen imbued with sensitivity, but highly practical and functional. It’s rational, but at the same time it possesses the beauty and sobriety of a unique artwork. Through its quality aesthetics, discreet and balanced, it seeks durability and timelessness while shunning fads or anything close to conventional.
Classicism and innovation
These five pieces of furniture nourish from classicism, but aim to be innovative, as it happens in the island, which constitutes the main work area. Its removable drawer and trays provide access to utensil from both sides, thus making teamwork much easier. Together with the versatile cupboard, conceived to contain either High-Tech appliances (oven, dishwasher) or other objects (like books), it creates a self-sufficient kitchen that can be optionally completed with the rest of the pieces.
Two disused traditional pieces have been recovered for this purpose: the glass cabinet and the serving cart. Half way between the living room and the kitchen, they bridge the gap between both spaces, while the room divider helps delimitate but without lifting actual barriers.
All these elements have been handcrafted in Spain. Even the smallest details have been lavished with care and attention. For example, every piece was designed to be folded into a flat pack and be assembled in situ.
A perfect harmony
Alberto Sánchez, MUT’s creative spirit, wanted, according to his own words, “to generate a landscape naturally and consciously integrated into the living room. I wanted objects to work as a whole but I also wanted them to be independent, so ultimately the decision on how to combine them depends on the user”.
FLOAT was born out of the will to create hybrid pieces of furniture, able to comfortably adjust either to the kitchen or the living room. “Thanks to its adaptability, this kind of furniture goes beyond the domestic borders to fit into many different environments such as offices, hotels and restaurants”, Sánchez emphasizes.

“It was Javier Miras who gave me the chance, almost two years ago, to develop a most rewarding project from a professional perspective, because it involved more than just devising a nice product. FLOAT is the result of a strenuous research, analysis and strategy work with the aim of creating an exclusive and personal collection”, the young designer explains.
Needless to say, sharing views with Javier Miras has been fundamental: “The two of us started from the same premises: no more laminations nor poor quality materials; no more cold and stark kitchens. We were both passionate about filtering classic forms through the sieve of modernity in a tireless search for a different aesthetic grounded on new materials, new finishes and new production methods”.
