Event Description
Description:
The internet has given American consumers unfettered access to the global market, which is greatly influencing our design choices, from clothing and furniture to home and even kitchen design. Whether it’s an indoor/outdoor connection with a breezy island feel, architectural details reminiscent of French bistros, or the functional minimalism of Scandinavia, kitchens play a significant role in expressing the style of a home and its homeowners, which is more global than ever.
This course will take a closer look at these global influences, including forward-thinking design ideas from abroad that will impact the sustainability, safety, and accessibility of kitchens. The course will also discuss innovative kitchen appliances that complement many kitchen styles and will explore several case studies that allowed designers to integrate global influences, wellness, and sustainability into their designs.
Learning Objectives:
- Examine global regional influences that are inspiring kitchen design today, from Europe to Asia, Latin America, and beyond.
- Identify forward-thinking design influences from Europe that provide a glimpse into the future of North American kitchen design, including sustainable materials and high-performance, space-saving appliances.
- Discuss innovative food storage options, cooking technologies, and connected appliances that complement a wide variety of aesthetic styles while improving kitchen accessibility and safety.
- Explore several winning Kitchen Design Contest spaces that allowed designers to integrate global influences,wellness, and sustainability into their designs.
