Ambiente to Showcase Clever Kitchen and Home Gadgets in Solutions 2019 Display

If the things we do in our home environment work smoothly, then that’s half the battle won. And if the utensils we use are well designed and nicely shaped, they’ll even add a fun element to our chores. The London-based industrial designer Sebastian Bergne has selected 26 exciting products for Solutions – all of which are of real benefit to the user. He was particularly keen to ensure that function and design should be aesthetically compatible.

Like last year, Sebastian Bergne was supported in the selection process by Dr. Claudia Wasser, editor-in-chief of the German magazine Trend & Style, and Kate Birch, editor of Tableware International from UK. All the solutions they chose will be presented at Ambiente, in the foyer of Hall 4.0, from 8 to 12 February 2019. The special show will also include some brief videos, showing how the kitchen and household gadgets are used.

Fish holder by LMW Leichtmetallguss

One of the items at Ambiente Solutions 2019 will be the fish holder from LMW Leichtmetallguss. To cook fish in the oven, simply put it in the fish holder. The fish is cooked evenly on all sides, shortening the overall preparation time, and the holder has a spice channel through which the fish can perfectly absorb the aroma of the spices. The product is also of interest for restaurants wanting to provide special experiences, as the fish can be served in the holder in an upright position.

Kitchen composter by Plastika Skaza

Bokashi Organko 2 is the name of an innovative composter that goes straight in the kitchen. Even if you don't have a garden, you can still take part in composting organic waste. The fermented liquid is ideally suited as a plant fertiliser, and the composter is designed in such a way that no unpleasant odours can escape.

Stackable saucepans by ELO

Of all the cookware, saucepans usually take up most space in the kitchen. However, help is at hand with Mystery, a set of three different-sized saucepans that can be stacked on top of each other, complete with lids. How does that work? Each lid is tilted a little so that it fits into the saucepan. The handle of the lid can also be folded, so that all three saucepans fit nicely inside one another.

Invisible nasal mask by the Hong Kong Exporters’ Association

Whether it’s in the kitchen or outdoors in a big city, it can be difficult or even impossible to avoid bad smells and polluted air. i-NOSE is an air filter in the form of small connected plastic spheres which you wear in both nostrils. The filter obviously lets the air through. It is almost invisible from the outside and can simply be cleaned under running water.
