Ora-Ita Gorenje Collection

What will the future have in store for the kitchen as we know it? Ora-Ito, a young French designer, mentions something to the extent of “simple clear lines, simplistic, yet high-tech, with a rounded edge on every corner”, when asked about the kitchen of the future. This was of course translated from french, but the idea remains the same. Ora-Ita exemplifies this vision in Gorenje’s kitchen of the future showcase.

This showcase’s high-tech modern approach to kitchen design could possibly raise the bar in terms of kitchen design standards world wide. While many innovations may not be blindly apparent, the most obviously innovation may be that of combining the bulk and clutter of ordinary kitchen appliances into one single unit. This unit is simply referred to as the Ora-Ito Gorenje Collection.
