Ambiente (8 to 12 February, Frankfurt am Main) will once again feature its popular and insightful Solutions exhibit, which focuses on innovative and creative ways of dealing with everyday issues.
London-based industrial designer Sebastian Bergne has selected 26 products for Solutions, with an eye on practical function and design. The line-up features four products from OXO (including its Silicone Dough Rolling Bag) as well as an innovativefish holder from LMW Leichtmetallguss. The holder ensures fish is cooked evenly in an oven, shortening the overall preparation time. It also has a spice channel so that fish can absorb the aroma of spices.
Other highlights include a kitchen composter by Plastika Skaza, which creates liquid plant fertiliser, and space-saving stackable saucepans by ELO.
For those conscious of bad smells in the kitchen or pollution outside, the i-NOSE (Invisible nasal mask by the Hong Kong Exporters’ Association) is an air filter in the form of small, connected plastic spheres, which you wear in both nostrils.
Other exhibits in Solutions (situated in the foyer of Hall 4.0) include Colourworks Multi-Function Toolsby KitchenCraft, Brotzeitbamboo drinking straws from RBV Birkmann and Klean Kanteen’s TKProstainless steel bottle.
The special show includes short videos that show how the kitchen and household gadgets are used.
