“We see huge potential for innovation in the kitchen and bathroom – how you spend your time in these rooms will be much more important than the aesthetic”
“We are absolutely convinced that these two rooms will remain the most important rooms in the house in the future because the future is very much about health. We see huge potential for innovation – the function of the product and how you spend your time in these rooms will be much more important than the aesthetic. These aspects will be considered even more important than how a product looks.
“Probably over the last decade, the main focus for kitchen design was to show off. We think that in the future, people will concentrate more and more on how to use the kitchen for cooking, just as they are gradually starting to care more about the quality of the food they eat and where it comes from.”
It’s a change in emphasis that needs to be properly acknowledged, says Christian: “Luckily, no-one wants to buy an ugly product, but we have to bring this together with an understanding of the importance of wellbeing, how important it is to recharge. Our homes have countless charging points for our mobile phones and gadgets, but where do we recharge? It’s about getting people back around the kitchen table to spend time with each other, or giving them the bathroom space that makes them want to have some ‘me-time’ to look after themselves.
“Perhaps one of the most important roles for the designer is to bring the products closer to the consumers’ lifestyle and giving them an understanding of what they are buying and how it can make their lives that little bit better.”
