Social Kitchen

Elements of entertainment are added to kitchen devices for peer engagement

Implications - Adding an element of entertainment to household chores, consumers are turning to engaging kitchenware devices for communal appeal. Making traditionally solitary experiences more inviting, musical contraptions and digital devices help add an element of novelty and peer-to-peer engagement. This reflects a turn toward more interactive methods of day-to-day routine.
Trend Themes
1. Interactive Kitchenware - Consumers are turning to engaging kitchenware devices for communal appeal, making traditionally solitary experiences more inviting with an element of entertainment.
2. Smart Kitchen Speakers - The Triby device is a nifty smart kitchen speaker that amplifies household communication as well as connectivity to popular platforms such as music streaming and Bluetooth to make listening to music, taking calls and cooking a seamless experience.
3. Kitchen Mobile Device Stands - Cooklet is a mobile device stand that takes inspiration from cooking utensils and offers a unique storage feature, which is great for small spaces.
Industry Implications
1. Smart Home Appliances - Companies can explore creating more kitchen appliances that offer entertainment, music streaming, and Bluetooth connectivity, which would create opportunities for enhancing customer engagement.
2. Kitchen Gadgets - As consumers seek novelty and peer-to-peer engagement in day-to-day kitchen experiences, there is an opportunity for companies to innovate and design interactive kitchen gadgets that offer socialization and entertainment.
3. Product Design - Considering the vertical reorientation of wood grain in butcher block designs such as iBlocks, designers can explore using this innovative approach to creating durable materials in other products, such as plates, cups, and other kitchen utensils.
