An original poster designed by Otl Aicher as part of his landmark collaboration with bulthaup (1981–1984). A rigorous composition of four kitchen knives and a carving fork, rendered in white line illustration on a deep black background — a graphic vocabulary drawn directly from the Bauhaus tradition and the Ulm School of Design, where Aicher was a co-founder.
Never sold commercially, this poster was distributed exclusively through bulthaup showrooms, making original examples genuinely rare. Directly linked to Aicher's seminal essay Die Küche zum Kochen (1982), which redefined the kitchen as a space for craft rather than spectacle.
This piece is sold unframed, carefully rolled and shipped in a rigid tube to ensure it arrives in pristine condition.
