What direction is the kitchen developing in and what role will it play in our homes and lives 10 to 15 years from now?
Life will take place in the kitchen. It will become a multifunctional space where the kitchen, living room and office merge into one. As well as the classic functions like preparing and storing food, other activities like checking e-mails, watching television or controlling the household installations will take place in the kitchen as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The living room proper will increasingly become a place of retreat.

Robert Wambach, Managing Director at Rational, talks about:

• Cosiness
• Popularity of German built-in kitchen
• Kitchen as the center of life
• Cologne as the place to meet within the kitchen industry
