Kitchen Stories

Childhood memories, love, anger, friendship, passion, and just about all other life experiences are topics of conversations in and around our kitchens. But with living spaces becoming smaller—some as small as 400 sq. ft.—and kitchen areas almost non-existent, how can we continue to share intimate time with friends and families? Here is a 5’X5’ multi-functional kitchen that can be used in many ways—like a small, romantic dinner with just your loved one, to hosting a buffet for a party of six!
