D'Werkelkueche ass eng Geschlecht-oppen Aktivitéits-Workstation, déi d'Kanner et erméiglecht, sech a fräi Spillwelten z'entdecken. Et kombinéiert déi formell an ästhetesch Feature vu Kannerkichen a Workbenches. Dofir bidden d'Werkelkueche verschidde Méiglechkeete fir ze spillen. Déi gebogen Sperrholzbänk kann als Spull, Workshop oder Skipist benotzt ginn. D'Säitkompartimenter kënne Späicher- a Verstopptraum ubidden oder knusprech Rullen baken. Mat Hëllef vun de faarwege an austauschbaren Tools kënnen d'Kanner hir Iddien realiséieren an d'Welt vun den Erwuessenen op eng spilleresch Manéier imitéieren.

Eenzegaarteg Eegeschaften: The ”Werkelkueche” is a gender-open activity workstation for children. It combines the formal and aesthetic features of children's kitchens and workbenches and thus opens up playful possibilities that are beyond gender stereotypes. The curved worktop can be a sink and a ski slope. The side compartments offer storage space or can bake crispy rolls. The interchangeable tools allow children to realize their ideas and imitate the adult world.

Produktiounstechnologie: The worktop of the ”Werkelkueche” is made of thermally deformable birch plywood from UPM. This material allowed me to give the rigid wood a soft, deep groove. This material is in optical and haptic contrast to the powder-coated sheet steel on the front and rear walls.
Design Erausfuerderung: The challenge in the conceptual work was the fusion of existing toys and their design opposites. I wanted to make a design that was recognizable and at the same time completely new. From a technical point of view, the thermal deformation of the birch plywood was a particular challenge. After several weeks of experimentation, I had found the right bend angle and also a way to connect this countertop to the rest of the pieces.
Fuerschung: Expert interviews and surveys with parents, the influence of gender in children's worlds, five qualitative interviews with educators and leaders, survey with over 900 individual answers, gender plays a subordinate role in children themselves up to the age of three, but from the point of pregnancy a clear distinction is made between male and female through the social environment, clothing and objects, parents want more so-called gender-neutral things
Inspiratioun: The world of children is actually colorful, loud and diverse. But this children's world is often divided into gender stereotypical roles: the clothes are either pink or blue, in the toy department mystical fighting ninjas ”for boys” and cute dolls ”for girls” are sold. This suggests to even the youngest children what social images and expectations are placed on girls or boys.
Projetdauer: The project started in June 2020 with extensive research with parents and social workers. I developed the Werkelkueche as part of my bachelor thesis at the Berlin University of the Arts. The project was completed in December 2020.
Operatiounsablaf: The ”Werkelkueche” is an open-ended, intuitive play space for children. There the world of adults can be imitated in a playful way, conflicts can be negotiated and security gained: Who am I and how does it feel to slip into another role? These experiences are an essential part of the child’s self-identity.
