The Future Kitchen 26/27 consists of three reports, also read Intentional Spaces and Kitchen CMF Showcase.

The New Flavour Fusionists

Cookware as Cultural Code

Home kitchens today are vibrant reflections of increasingly diverse populations and immigrant cultures, where dishes convey stories of heritage, ritual and resourcefulness. As a result, global cuisines have moved from the margins to the core of everyday cooking, becoming much-loved staples in households across the world.

The New Flavour Fusionists

By delivering sensorially engaging content, social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube have become dynamic stages for showcasing different food cultures. Innovative food influencers redefine international cuisine, shaping and preserving it for new audiences in novel ways. Meanwhile, a raft of cookbook authors offer their unique takes on progressive flavour fusion.

Cookware as Cultural Code

Beyond its functional application, traditional and heritage-inspired cookware can be a conduit for storytelling. Able to transform everyday cooking into a ritual of connection, these pieces invite their users to honour traditions and revisit the past while enabling the ease and efficiency of modern lifestyles. Alongside this, retro-style cookware presents the not-so-distant past in fresh guises.
