Concealable Kitchen Appliances

The Monocomplex Rectangle Kettle is Space-Sensitive

— March 28, 2011 — Art & Design
No law states that a teakettle must in fact be round, and the Monocomplex Rectangle Kettle surely puts an end to that typical quality.

The industrial designers behind the countertop appliance have presented homemakers with the option of a mechanical item that impresses but does not impose. A fully functional electric water boiler, this geometric gadget can be stored in cupboards or on a shelf amid cookbooks, boxes and food packaging in a way that enhances the culinary space without exceeding essential dimensions.

Given the abundance of convenient cooking contraptions, bench tops can be cluttered with great quantities of corded objects. The Monocomplex Rectangle Kettle maintains its bulbous interior for optimal liquid storage and even heating, but its form is optimized for aesthetics and a conservative food prep surface presence.
