# Swivelling Culinary Spaces The Kitchen E2 Concept Proposes Improved Adaptability in This Room By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-02-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-e2 References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2014/02/14/linear-or-long-just-the-way-i-like-it/) The Kitchen E2 is a contemporary redesign of what's likely to be the most inflexible room in your home. The integration of [cabinetry, countertops and large appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-sink-system) means that nothing can really be moved around after installation. Designer Branislav Varnicic understands this inconvenient conundrum -- despite the fact that food preparation areas are places of dynamic interaction. The EON 2 comprises many [built-in features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabinet) with one particular piece that has the power to bring versatility to a room. The Kitchen E2 has a [pivoting island](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swivel) that can functions as a countertop extension and a bar around which you can sit. One end rests on the bench and the other is supported by a single broad leg, enabling you to orient it to your preference whether you require efficiency or the ability to entertain. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pivoting Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing flexible furniture that can adapt to different needs and preferences in various rooms. - **Versatile Spaces:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating adaptable spaces that can accommodate different activities and functions, optimizing the use of limited space. - **Dynamic Interactions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovating interactive solutions that enhance engagement and collaboration in everyday activities, such as food preparation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing furniture designs that prioritize flexibility and versatility to meet changing customer needs and spatial constraints. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redesigning interior spaces to optimize functionality and adaptability, considering the evolving needs of individuals and families. - **Smart Home Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating smart solutions and IoT technologies into living spaces to enhance convenience and customization, enabling seamless interaction with furniture and appliances. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Motorized Storage Kitchen Islands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osta-insel-plus-kitchen-island.md) - [Ai-Powered Recipe-Generating Appliance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kitchen-cosmo.md) - [Tech-Informed Modular Kitchens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rekook.md) - [Space-Conscious Kitchen Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-kitchen-design.md) - [Telescoping Component Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-kitchen-aid.md) - [Chef-Designed Outdoor Prep Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everdure-mobile-prep-kitchen.md) - [Compact Kitchen Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-kitchen-furniture.md) - [Micro-Living Kitchen Appliance Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-appliance-hub.md) - [Cabinet-Style Kitchen Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/next125-pocket-system.md)
