Connected Living
A new way of living
“Whether via technology or face-to-face, that desire to be connected is one of the greatest impacts on future kitchen & bath design. Connected via their smartphone or other forms of technology with their kitchen while they are away from home, or the option to check on their temperature or look in on their dish without having to get up from their couch.”
