Gaggenau

During Milan Design Week, Gaggenau will be presenting an extensive exhibition with a side programme in the magnificent Villa Necchi Campiglio from 7 to 11 June.

Gaggenau is currently presenting the Flex induction hob with integrated ventilation from the 400 series, which combines many functions with purist aesthetics.

No sign of a crisis: the kitchen at this year's Eurocucina presents itself in a visually stunning materiality. Maximalism is becoming the maxim – and even the luxury segment is finally allowed to get dirty.

Sam Lombardo recently completed his studies at écal – his graduation project is "The table of the future", which can also be used as a stovetop. In this interview, he tells us how his idea differs from those of established manufacturers.

In Halifax, Canada, architect Omar Gandhi has built a house for himself and his family, for which he skilfully combines materials and deliberately uses light as an atmospheric tool to create space.

It's been four years since EuroCucina was last held. A lot has happened since then, including in the kitchen. We have taken a look around and show the innovations and trends of the International Kitchen Furniture Exhibition.

Salone del Mobile and the Milan Design Week took place on June 7-12, 2022. What trends, contrasts and issues did the international event highlight? Our review.

Cooktop downdraft ventilation units that suck away the fat and smells directly next to the pots have clear advantages over the old extractor hoods. We took a look at the latest systems at the Living Kitchen.

EuroCucina, which runs parallel to Milan’s Salone del Mobile, offers furniture for people who would love to cook. And shows the latest status objects that straddle architecture and design. A tour.

Touch-screen displays, adjustable work surfaces, sensor-controlled coffee making: “Living Kitchen”, the biennial fair parallel to imm Cologne, presented technology as an aid to a better life.. A vision that even proves rather convincing on occasion.

The imm cologne furniture fair is currently making a comeback, not just thanks to efforts being made to once again provide dedicated labels and manufacturers with a sophisticated platform, but also because of its grand new kitchen show, "Living Kitchen". While experienced trade fair visitors may have wondered what the name referred to ("the kitchen is alive" or perhaps "living the kitchen"?) one thing is clear: Kitchens are the new hot topic that electrifies professional visitors and the general public alike.
