With it brings many resource-saving credentials to provide appliance solutions for a modern, healthier lifestyle.


If there was just one word to define what consumers are looking for in a modern appliance, it would have to be sleek. If you look at all aspects of a modern appliance’s design, it is all geared around making the appliance look sleek and streamlined. This has meant that knobs and controls have been removed and replaced by touchscreens, often with the addition of a central dial that retracts to leave the appliance looking flush to the surface and withdraw when not in use.


Comment by Rhys Evans Sales Director UK & Ireland, V-ZUG UK


There are no longer strict rules when it comes to designing kitchens as to where a modern or traditional appliance naturally fits thanks to the eclectic trends that are dominating design. If anything, mixing and matching across styles has now become very fashionable. You can put modern appliances in traditional or contemporary settings; it depends upon the whole scheme being created by the designer and the tastes of the consumer.


When considering an open-plan layout then the kitchen should merge seamlessly into the dining and living areas, and so it is important for the more domestic elements of the kitchen such as the appliances to be discreet in their design and operation. Consumers are looking at built-in steam ovens, coffee machines, microwaves and dishwashers with lower decibel ratings for an open- plan space, with special features such as a streamlined fascia, retractable handles, unique programmes and touch screen control panels for a more discreet and quieter kitchen.
