Smart Kitchen Islands

This Smart Island Concept Simplifies the Cooking Process

— May 14, 2016 — Lifestyle
Designer Stefano Spinella has created a uniquely stunning smart kitchen concept that is sure to catch the eye of many.

Created to simplify the cooking process and integrate smart-user technology with everyday applications, the OTTO smart kitchen island "embraces preferences, the user's schedule, and social moments in the home." It does this by interacting with the user and providing healthy recommendations and recipes. It also includes most of the necessary amenities in a kitchen -- including a dishwasher, an oven, a garbage collector, storage space, a smart refrigerator, an induction cook top and a food extractor. The many capabilities of this one kitchen island makes it extremely unique.

Not only is the OTTO smart kitchen concept highly functional, it is extremely aesthetically pleasing. Its sleek design would be suitable for a home with a modern interior.

Industry Implications
