Context
The modern kitchen is the result of a compromise between two industries (furniture and electronics) that grew together responding to a lifestyle that is quite different from now. Today people move more often, have less space, and the kitchen is as much a living space as any other. Moreover, my research showed that with age and cooking experience, people not only spend more time in the kitchen, but also want to upgrade their appliances to their skills.
