The stove is characterized by its soft form and [curvy aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qrevo-curvx) that are inspired by the landscaping found in traditional Japanese and Buddhist gardens. This design adds increased visual appeal for those with a penchant for high-end appliances, while also making the unit far easier to keep clean when compared to other alternatives presently on the market. The conceptual Dry Mountain Gas Stove is finished with a rounded bottom section to save about 20% more counter space compared to other styles.
