Kitchen have always been the space where people spend a great deal of their time when they are at home, and things we do there are not limited to just cooking and having meals. Brands are doing their great part in developing smart, beautiful and efficient solutions for modern kitchens—such home comfort providers as IKEA, Electrolux and Philips to name a few are recognized leaders in the sphere, but brands from other fields have taken up the challenge, too. Diesel, one of the leaders in the casual apparel industry, is also contributing. The brand has teamed up with Italian kitchen furniture brand Scavolini to create the Social Kitchen, which have become part of Diesel’s ‘Successful living’ collection.
