In a classic kitchen, it is customary to hide equipment behind the facades. This is done to ensure that its modern design does not conflict with the traditional decor of the furniture. In this case, the technique serves purely utilitarian purposes, and its appearance is no longer important. The only exceptions are the hoods and the plates: they can be made antiqued without any problems. Works of companies Elve or AGA - the best confirmation of this. Minimalist kitchens also often suggest “masking” equipment, but even if you do not hide the equipment behind decorative panels, it will not break the harmony. In modern kitchen, the equipment claims to be an art object and, moreover, it can be a central element of the overall design solution. Items created by Karim Rashid for GORENJE, thought to perform just such a function. KRUPS, V-ZUG, TEKA, MIELE, SAMSUNG and other well-known brands also have memorable objects in their collections, the purpose of which is broader than just cooking.
