The best performing electrical appliances now tend to blend into the domestic architecture. For kitchens with an advanced technological core but a human face.
Invisible hoods. Hobs that only appear when needed. Hidden fridges and ovens.
Technology in designer kitchens has become invisible in order to blend into the surrounding environment, which is often conceived in continuity with the living area. In fact, using apps and control panels, any type of function can be programmed and controlled with a simple touch or voice command. So, the appliances of contemporary kitchens have become even more highly performing and immaterial, making our daily lives more comfortable without invading our homes.
A scenario that is truly distant from the aseptic high-tech world prefigured in certain science fiction films. In fact, kitchens with a contemporary design combine an advanced technological soul with warm and welcoming aesthetics and a simple and intuitive user experience.
For a kitchen where everything has changed, without anything apparently having changed.
But let’s see how invisible technology is integrated into the kitchen.
Invisible technology in designer kitchens
1. Invisible hoods
Fundamental tools for making the air in the kitchen healthier and cleaner, hoods now tend to “disappear” in domestic architecture. They can be fully integrated into the hob, hidden in the hob or in the ceiling. They only appear when needed or are transformed into actual furnishing elements. In any case, the most innovative models are invisible.
Whereas the design has become immaterial, the performance levels are constantly higher. Thanks to Wi-Fi connectivity, hoods can also be remotely controlled in a simple and intuitive way, via apps and voice commands. But that’s not all. As well as extracting cooking fumes and vapours, the most advanced design hoods are also enriched with other functions. From lighting to the sanitisation of environments, from sound diffusion to perfuming functions. For kitchens that offer maximum comfort and absolute well-being.
2. Hidden hobs
If there was once a clear distinction between the top and hob, today the boundaries between the two elements are often unclear. And we’re not just talking about classic induction hobs, characterized by a discreet, minimal but still visible design.
Today there are technologically advanced solutions, with induction hobs incorporated into the top. The cooking technology is the same, but the way they are switched on is different.
In this case, the induction hob is activated by touch control commands or dedicated apps. When it isn’t on, the top can be used for other activities. An ideal solution for small kitchens where there is never enough space. But also a good choice in terms of hygiene. In fact, in invisible hobs there are no annoying joints to clean. You just wipe the slab with a sponge and you’re all set.
Invisible hobs can also look like silicone mats. Again in this case the cooking system is hidden below the work top. But, it’s a silicone pad with magnetic sensors that activates the touch commands for switching it on, when it is resting on the top. Once the pad has been removed, the hob becomes inactive and the top can be used like a normal work top.
3. Built-in electrical appliances
Built-in electrical appliances are the ideal solution for anyone wishing to combine aesthetics and performance. In fact, as kitchens have become more connected with the living area, the elements that used to distinguish them as traditional kitchens now tend to “blend in”. The shapes have become clean and elegant and the electrical appliances, like fridges and ovens, are hidden behind flush doors.
But although they are hidden from view, the built-in electrical appliances of the highest performing kitchens actually have a hyper-technological soul.
Latest generation built-in fridges guarantee excellent food preservation, offering the possibility to adjust the temperature in the various compartments and can also be remotely controlled by a smartphone. This makes it possible to reduce energy consumptions, monitoring the temperature from elsewhere or, thanks to the use of internal cameras, we can even check what’s inside the fridge while we’re at the supermarket. But that’s not all. There are apps that suggest recipes based on what’s available in the fridge. To prevent all kinds of waste.
As well as guaranteeing professional performance levels, new generation built-in ovens can also be managed remotely, making the most of smart technology. In fact, using digital commands, the cooking time and program can be selected remotely, video-recipes can be downloaded and meals can be organised based on the available ingredients. And, for ovens with built-in cameras, the images of the dish can be seen in real time on our devices so that we know when it is ready. For cooking at home like a real chef, completely stress free.
Invisible technology in Abimis derived professional kitchens
Abimis kitchens can be equipped with all the professional tools and the most cutting edge electrical appliances.
Latest generation induction hobs, perfectly integrated into the work top.
Ovens that can be controlled by smartphone, enabling us to monitor the cooking in real time and receive a notification when the dish is ready.
Heated drawers to keep food at the ideal temperature but which look like traditional drawer units.
And also, cold control systems which are functional, highly technological but attractive and look at like real designer cabinets.
Fridges that are like personal assistants and remind us what to buy at the supermarket and help us to organise the kitchen.
Telescopic hoods or hoods completely built into the hob. Multiple innovative solutions that guarantee the best performance levels, at the same time simplifying our daily life. For kitchens that are both attractive and enjoyable.
