Dezeen promotion: an elevated vegetable garden, a brass frame with sliding shelves and a wooden cube that folds open feature in these proposals for kitchens, presented by home appliance brand KitchenAid during London Design Festival.
Eight architects and designers, including Matalie Crasset, Ellen Bernhardt and Paola Vella, and Kensaku Oshiro, were tasked by KitchenAid to propose future kitchen concepts.
The results feature in the exhibition Serious About Food Kitchen Lab, on show at the brand's London showroom until 22 September 2017, as part of this year's London Design Festival.
Designs are shown in one of four trend sections that KitchenAid believes will define kitchens to come.
These include Living Kitchen, where living areas and kitchens merge, and Material Kitchen, which showcases designs featuring stainless steel. Dynamic Kitchen presents technologically advanced design, while Beyond the Kitchen features concepts for "those who consider the kitchen to be the centre of the home". As part of the showcase, KitchenAid will also unveil its n Black Stainless Steel collection, which it says is the UK's first appliance collection to be made entirely of black steel, as well as the first limited-edition Black Tie Stand Mixer.
Serious About Food Kitchen Lab is on show at 98 Wigmore Street, London, W1U 3RN.
