Caesarstone USA brings the FUTURE KITCHEN concept to life with help from the students of the industrial design department at Pratt Institute. The winning design will be produced by Caesarstone and exhibited at Wanted Design Manhattan during NYCX Design.

As the kitchen continues to remain the heart of the home, industrial design students at Pratt Institute seek to understand how it will perform in a global society in the future, and what role the kitchen will play as we find solutions for sustainable food supply, water supply, energy supply, waste management and nutrition.

“We believe there is no better way to see what the kitchens of the future will look like than through the eyes of the younger generations, Caesarstone is proud to partner with such a reputable institution, and we look forward to unveiling the winning kitchen.”

Under the guidance of New York based architect and designer Marc Thorpe, the students will research aspects of designing the Future Kitchen in relation to issues such as smaller spaces, changes in food consumption, waste disposal, water conservation, new kitchen technology, and the transforming role of the kitchen.

“In partnership with Caesarstone, we wanted to explore how the use of the kitchen will evolve along with society over time,” said Marc Thorpe, Visiting Assistant Professor of Industrial Design at PRATT and Founder of Marc Thorpe Design. “Not only in its aesthetic appeal, but also in terms of functionality as a whole. We have found that Caesarstone will stand the test of time and look forward to showcasing the students’ final design at WantedDesign.”
