A look at the latest generation of game-changing appliances
By LESLIE CLAGETT
rue design innovation isn't Darwinian
or reactionary, and it is rarely the result
of a lightning-bolt, a-ha moment of genius.
Innovation is a focused, methodical,
boundary-breaking, expensive commitment
for brands to make. Products,
materials and technologies require forethought,
iteration and testing. As a McKinsey & Co. analysis
of creative companies points out, successful
innovation occurs at the intersection of three elements:
identifying a valuable problem to solve, a
technology that enables a solution and a business
model that generates money.
At KBIS this year, a few examples of innovative
appliance design stood out, while incremental
improvement of a more conservative kind was
also observed. Th e upshot for specifi ers as well as
consumers? If it's worth wanting, it's worth waiting
for. Next year will be sure to yield additional
breakthroughs.
WHAT'S COOKING
For cooking appliances, the elephant not-quiteyet
in the room is the gas/induction issue. Sometimes
a polarizing topic outside the industry,
kitchen professionals take a more balanced view.
A report prepared by Bertazzoni breaks down
how U.S. homeowners view the appeal of induction.
Saving on energy bills topped the list of perceived
benefi ts at 63%, and ease of cleaning was
cited by 61%. Precision cooking was mentioned
by 58% of respondents, with 54% noting the
cooking speed and 50% mentioning heat-safety
features. Th e clean look of the appliance appealed
to 43%, the same percentage that saw induction
as being eco-friendly.
