::Surroundings:: regular contributor Lori Dolnick is always on the go and her most recent trip was to IMM Cologne in Germany. Lori was kind enough to put together a great video of what's hot in European kitchen design.
Trend Report by Lori Dolnick
I recently traveled to Cologne, Germany for the 2013 LivingKitchen trade show with the BLANCO Design Council (www.blancobydesign.com to learn more). It is always inspiring to experience the show through the eyes of the designers/bloggers both on the BLANCO Design Council and with the Modenus BlogTour who met up with us for press events. Out of the hundreds of photos we took - these are curated by trend including reclaimed wood looks in cabinets + tiles, grey colors, a stunning architectural sink design called MODEX by BLANCO plus pure white design for appliance + cabinets. Everywhere we looked, there were smart phones, tablets and remote controls. If you ever wanted to see an international home design show in under 2 minutes - here's your shot!
