When it meets technology, design creates unique systems and products capable of improving and simplifying everyday life. The 62nd edition of the Salone del Mobile.Milano, as in a photograph, presents a synthesis of the state of the art of collaboration between technology and design that looks at smart objects, artificial intelligence and innovative systems.
It connects, simplifies, collects and exchanges data, managing it for us and with us. This is the technology that this year is featured in the Salone del Mobile.Milano 2024 in EuroCucina / FTK, Technology For the Kitchen. In the kitchen, technology meets design to create pure innovation capable of simplifying, improving, and innovating, not only the preparation of food but also the room itself, which can be experienced as a place of pleasure rather than a service space. Integration of technology marks the turning point, and design acts as a mediator. Because, after all, this is what designers have been doing for almost 200 years, ever since the first industrial revolution. They look and try to understand technology, to domesticate it and transform it into innovation, to return it to the world in practical and exciting forms and ways. In the kitchen and especially home appliances, design manages to give its best by designing technology. It does so by adding functionality where it did not exist.
The innovations presented at this 62nd edition of the Salone del Mobile.Milano follow two main directions. The theme of AI is central, being present in the products and stands at the event, combined with the connections between household appliances, which are becoming increasingly intelligent, together with the theme of technology used to simplify and improve work and our lives.
