DREAM KITCHENS
Many people dream of having a new, combined kitchen and living room that matches their lifestyle; ideally it would be customised – individually designed and unique.

owadays a lot goes on in the kitchen, often at the same time. This is in contrast to previous times, when it served simply as a room in which to prepare meals. The kitchen of the 21st century is a general-purpose living space that meets the most diverse needs: it is a new symbol of our home life, in its most attractive and most individual expression, from entry-level standard
to luxury. As Kirk Mangels, Managing Director of Arbeitsgemeinschaft Die Moderne Küche e.V. (AMK), says: “These lifestyle kitchens with their unique ambience play an important role. They are the interface between public and private life, analogue and digital worlds, quiet contemplation and social activities.” According to Mangels, increasing numbers of people have been able to fulfi l their dreams
with the help of good advice, kitchen planning and design, as is refl ected in the trend towards very individual solutions in kitchen furniture, domestic appliance technology and kitchen accessories.
Kitchens that serve as a dream living space for young families include features such
as easy-to-clean surfaces, a dining/work area, in which parents can supervise the children doing their homework whilst preparing a meal, an extra-large refrigerator unit with multiple temperature zones, as well as a combination oven with microwave and steamer functions so that the meal always comes to the table fresh and wholesome, regardless of what time of day
Kitchens are the interface between public and private life, analogue and digital
worlds... and social activities Kirk Mangels, AMK
