The worktop for the Caminada kitchen

What is it about?

Schauenstein is a historic castle that is run as a restaurant and hotel by Swiss celebrity chef Andreas Caminada. The restaurant, which has been awarded 3 Michelin stars and 19 Gault&Millau points, is connected to nine unique and individually furnished rooms. «Orea» is Greek and means «aesthetically beautiful or noble». For Orea AG, the kitchen is at the centre of life - a space that shows personality. Orea transfers this claim to the dining area, bathroom, dressing room and other rooms. Natural materials, clear lines and calm colours create an atmosphere that is both supportive and touching. The aesthetic kitchen solutions are the result of curiosity and the desire to improve what already exists.

What exactly was the assignment?

The aim was to design a kitchen with the signature style of Andreas Caminada and Orea. The result consists of a concrete carcass with integrated furniture and worktops made of brass or stainless steel. The materials could be selected individually.

The castle was the place for potential buyers to view the kitchen design for the first time - combined, of course, with an excellent meal.

What was the particular challenge?

Essentially, it was about realising the kitchen design by Andreas Caminada and Orea and following the joint idea down to the last detail. For example, the surface of the brass worktop, which rests on the concrete carcass, was treated with a hand whirl and browned, i.e. artificially aged. 

What was the result?

The project combines the innovative strength of Andreas Caminada and Orea. Morath is delighted to have made its contribution to the realisation of the Caminada kitchen with the worktop. Andreas Caminada and Orea are marketing the project aggressively. A version of the Caminada kitchen is now on display in the Orea showroom in Zurich.

How did the cooperation go?

The cooperation with Morath was met with great appreciation for the detailed aesthetic realisation of the surfaces and the technical implementation of the overall design.
