Eurocucina 2014 – Function gets fashion

We all love kitchen appliances because they make our life easier and take the drudgery out of mundane household tasks. But until recently, the worth of a kitchen appliance was judged on its ability to perform a set task rather than its appearance.

Today, that’s all changed because kitchen appliances have become an important part of the overall design of a the kitchen enabling designers to enhance the look they want to achieve through their choice of appliance.

Of course, Eurocucina is a showcase for the most cutting edge kitchen appliances in terms of both function and fashion, so we thought we’d show you some examples.

That’s it for today. We’ll have more Eurocucina news for you tomorrow.
