Design trends: Touch sensitive kitchen faucets Posted: 07 Oct 2011 12:21 AM PDT Kalyani Kalli: Touch sensitive kitchen faucetsThe faucet will turn the water on when you touch any part of the spout or handle, even with the back of your hand. The Trend Faucets are one of the most useful tools in a kitchen, allowing you to easily draw water for your cooking, cleaning and drinking. Considering their constant use, they need to be strong enough to endure pressure so that they can be used for a long time. Thus, the materials used to manufacture kitchen faucets have to be sturdy and the design itself needs to be such that they are easy to use.

The world is going electronic and energy-efficient as well. Till now you must have heard about an email but how about an E-Wall. Don’t get baffled, as in coming times a lot of things will get the ‘E’ tag. Designed by Yulya Besplemennova, E-Wall is an energy-efficient kitchen which will make lives easier as well as eco-friendly.


Entire kitchen, in a functional mode, will be embedded in a single wall. The wall will make sure that minimum energy loss occurs and no resources go waste. A multilayer structure, E-Wall will come fixed with ventilations outlets, fridge shaft and a worktop that can be pulled out easily.

The kitchen comes with a dishwasher that has been coupled with some storage space. Another washer has been made available, which will clean heavy polluted and non-standard utensils. If you think the washing features end here then let me tell you another special washer is present. This will specifically clean vegetables and fruits, and make them free from germs and dirt.

E-Wall will bow down to all your cooking needs with an oven, microwave and grill. A niche has been fitted in the wall, which will let out drinking water of the required temperature.

One can choose from a variety of colors and combine all the parts as per their convenience. The layout can be changed according to the interiors and space.

2010 NYIGF Faves Alessi's new cutting board and oldie-but-goodie classic clocks

I'm digging Patrick Jouin's chunky bamboo cutting board for Alessi, new for Fall/Winter 2010. Dubbed the Chop, it's extra-thick and features a concave groove around the rim so you can slide a plate next to it; just cut and swipe to transfer your veggies to the plate, no lifting and angling required. I also think it would make a great serving dish placed in the center of the table, loaded up with cheese and bread, as its extra height makes it a smidgen more prominent and reachable.

Was also pleased to see Alessi's bringing back some clocks of old, like Pio Manzu's Cronotime (1966) and Joe Colombo's Optic (1970), both of which were big hits from Alessi's late-'80s catalogue.
