Valcucine adds ergonomic designs to kitchens

Add as a preferred source on Google

Concept kitchen designs are always fascinating because they’re innovating one of the most important social and human rooms in the home. Unfortunately, most designs tend to shoot for aesthetically pleasing designs over east of use.

Italian kitchen manufacturer Valcucine designs kitchens that look aesthetically pleasing while also creating ergonomic preparation spaces.

Valcucine’s “New logic System” is a reimagining of the original Logica System that the company introduced in 1996. The kitchen set up comes with a depth of about three feet, in either wall form or island form.

The interesting feature that caught our eye is the “equipped back section.” You can see in the images that instead of cabinets above and below the counter space, the logica system comes with containers that are set at the back of the counter.

The counterback is designed to contain and conceal your various kitchen equipment including; a dish-drainer, weighing scales, small appliances, bottle-racks, utensils holders, kitchen roll holder, power-sockets, and Valcucine says, even a cooker hood.

Both the island and the wall versions of the Logica System come with the back section. There a couple of differences beyond the space that the kitchens take up. The wall version comes with “Ala” and “Aerius” doors that slide up and down, which allows for concealment of the shelves and cabinets.

The island is made large enough that it can be used, ostensibly, as a new wall for dividing the cooking and living areas.

You won’t be getting a classic looking kitchen with the Logica System. But if you like the modern look of stainless steel or aluminum design then this kitchen might find a spot in your décor while still providing function.

Fraimic’s E Ink art frame generates art from your voice and looks incredible doing it
Fraimic's AI art canvas is one of the most thoughtfully designed smart frames I've come across.
Indoors, Interior Design, Person

We’ve seen a lot of "smart art frames" at CES over the years. Most of them feel like glorified digital photo frames in turtlenecks. However, there’s one that feels genuinely different: Fraimic, and I say that as someone deeply skeptical of this category.

The pitch appears quite compelling at first. Speak a prompt into the device, and its built-in mic sends the command to OpenAI's GPT Image 2.0, which then generates full-color artwork that lands on a Spectra 6 E Ink display.

Google is rolling out a fresh batch of updates to Gemini for Home and the Google Home app, and the headline change is one that could get more users to try out automations. Version 4.20 of the Google Home app adds a handful of pre-built routines to the Automations tab, so instead of building one from scratch, you can pick one and turn it on with a tap.
