Practicality meets aesthetics at CookingRAK
Since our design focus this month is kitchens, we can’t help but feature CookingRAK by RAK Ceramics. It checks all the boxes with its sleek lines, stunning porcelain countertops, energy efficiency and effortless management through a smartphone app. Made of non-porous material that mitigates against mould and bacteria, the countertops are food-safe and easy to clean. It’s little wonder that this innovation won the prestigious ‘Red Dot: Best of the Best’ award in the Product Design category this year. If it’s good enough for Massimo Bottura, it’s good enough for us.
