The kitchen is not merely a place to cook. Now days, interior design ideas for kitchen have to encompass a whole lot of factors. This year, however, Hettich launched their latest concept for the kitchen of 2015. Recognising the changing role of the kitchen within the home, ‘Kitchen Concept 2015’ explores notions of flexibility, innovation and technology in this latest model. With its trend forecast for kitchen and home environments, Hettich draws on experience in electric kitchen furniture elements and demonstrates possibilities in many application scenarios. Ideas from project studies and cutting-edge technologies are evident everywhere in the concept design. The kitchen concept 2015 understanding the impact of the iPod generation, the kitchen also has a number of multimedia and interactive technologies, from surfaces that double as touch screens – providing access to the internet, television and controls – to appliances that can ‘communicate’ with each other.
The hob is no longer a static element, with digitally resizable hotplates that can change to suit the size and shape of the pot or pan you wish to use.
The aim of the entire kitchen is to provide functional furniture and appliances that, when not in use, can easily be hidden away – everything from faucets to the oven can retract, leaving clear clean surfaces free of visual clutter.
As Hettich says: “‘Kitchen Concept 2015’ aims to provide kitchen furniture and white-goods manufacturers with inspiration for taking the kitchen forward as the hub of the home.”
