the brief:
"the world is bigger than 2 metre squared"
Kitchens are getting smaller and open plan living is becoming increasingly popular. What if future appliances are no longer restricted to their traditional places, instead being stored and used elsewhere in the home?
Choose one of Kenwood’s Core range of Kitchen Appliances and evolve it into a product suitable for the broader home environment. While still retaining the functionality to be able to perform food preparation tasks at a high level, it must be a desirable piece that any consumer would be happy to have out on display in their home, yet not too much of a statement to demand attention.
Final Design
Designed to blend into its surroundings as well as it blends food, MultiPro Match’s flat (when powered off) front face invites creative storage orientations. Beautiful from every angle, Match camouflages typically obtrusive elements—like the locking mechanism, finger holds & air vents— while having a retractable control dial that doubles as a power switch.
Mix
At the core of MultiPro Match are the technologies you know and trust from Kenwood’s MultiPro family. With the removable base attached, you get the same footprint—and stability—as MultiPro Express. A matte plastic shell keeps the base unit and accessory holder easy to clean.
& Match
A variety of material and colour options for the base allow you to match MultiPro Match to your décor. With a tool-less locking mechanism, swapping is a twist away. One for the kitchen, another for the living room perhaps? Going minimal? Remove the base and rest MultiPro Match on its side for an even smaller footprint—while keeping it at arms reach.
