THE FUTURE OF KITCHEN DESIGN : APPLIANCES IN A DRAWER
The design ideas behind Fisher & Paykel appliances are rooted in ergonomics and intuition . Fisher & Paykel strives to be the most human-centered appliance brand in the world and its heritage strongly lies in creating appliances for real life by closely studying the need for functional and practical products in our kitchens and the long-term , future-proofing benefits of these . The brand has championed appliances in drawers since the launch of the very first pioneering DishDrawer™ 20 years ago .
Research shows that 80 % of people will suffer from back problems in their life ; this is due to our sedentary lifestyles . Being sat in front of a computer can have its toll on our necks and our backs and this worsens with time . Fisher & Paykel is dedicated to creating real products for real people . With a motive to design appliances that are ergonomically orientated around making the lives of homeowners easier , appliances in drawers will become a core feature of the future kitchen design .
Fisher & Paykel ’ s renowned DishDrawer™ and CoolDrawer™ provide an array of functions that make life easier . When placed at bench height , the need to bend down is significantly reduced and there is no longer a need for you to get on your knees to fill the salt , rinse aid or detergent - it is as easy to open as a normal drawer .
