I’m probably one of the few people who doesn’t like adding salt and pepper to my salads because I prefer sweet nutty flavors. Something like ginger honey vinaigrette or a sesame pear dressing. However many salad aficionados won’t do a salad without salt and pepper so to make tossing one a little more convenient, these Pepperfork and Saltspoon utensils are the perfect set.

In 10 years you might find kitchens utilizing features like the Aion by Antoin Lebrun. The specialized plants were developed by the aerospace industry for their filtering and cleaning properties.

When it’s time to clean up, simply place the dirty dishes in the sink, close the hood, and the all natural clean cycle begins.

The singular most reoccurring theme in industrial design today seems to be modularity. It’s appropriate since people today are always on the move so designers have to create objects and spaces with that in mind. The Kitchen A La Carte is no different. Born from the idea of small pack kitchens assembled anywhere so long as there’s plumbing and electricity. When all is said and done, they neatly pack up into 3 modular pieces ready for transport.
