Kitchens of the Future: Healthy, Sustainable and Connected

Join CSI Kitchen & Bath Studio for lunch and a presentation of “Kitchens of the Future.”

The kitchen has been trending toward minimalism, sustainability and the increasing desire of consumers to eat healthy foods, often cooked at home. Homeowners are now more aware of the importance of sustainable, healthy building materials, and designers are reimagining the kitchen from the standpoint of storage, prep, cooking, disposal, consumption and social activity. This course will look to the future of kitchen design, including how connected appliances will change the way we interact in the kitchen.

Registration begins at 11:00 am. Presentation starts at 11:30. Lunch will be provided after the presentation has concluded.
