There are a lot of good works in this year entries. I wanna highlight some that I found the most interesting ones related to our beloved homes. Mostly I’m pretty impressed by this year kitchen appliances. There are a lot of good products by Miele, Simens, De?Longhi, Electrolux and other great brands.

Siemens liftMatic

The Siemens liftMatic is a revolutionary wall-mounted oven with a built-in lift. The lift allows access to the food from three sides, without doors or handles. The oven also heats more efficiently than traditional ovens, as rising heat remains trapped within the oven. In my opinion the idea is great because it makes using of wall-mounted oven experience much more comfortable.
