2980 kitchen designers compete
What if you had 2980 kitchen designers from al over the world competing? You’d get a pretty good overview of what kitchens are going to look like in the near future.
That’s what DesignBoom did and there’s a lot of really innovative kitchen design stuff to see on their site.
What really struck me, from a US perspective, is how compact the designs are compared to trend of ever larger kitchens we see here. As fuel prices rise we’re going to see a move to smaller, more efficient living spaces (the end of the dreaded ‘McMansions’?) and these designs reflect that this already taking place in global design.
