Food is not only essential to the human experience, but it\u2019s also become a huge inspiration for the materials used in creative endeavors. While food has historically been an influence in design, there is a new modern approach dubbed \u201cForm Follows Food\u201d\u2014this concept is profoundly shaping designs in contemporary kitchens, and Caesarstone is excited to share our new trend book focusing on this ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes in a kitchen, form follows food. In our 2019 Kitchen Trends Book<\/a>, we outline how this movement is currently inspiring kitchen design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Cooking Trends Impact Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Design can often take the form of food, and cooking is currently returning to its humble beginnings. It\u2019s back to the basics of the days when humans had to hunt and forage for foods. Those who cook and those who eat desire simplification and natural ingredients. With this in mind, the design of kitchen surfaces it taking a cue from the past as well with new textures and a focus on the black aesthetic, which we\u2019ve captured in Dark Rituals<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Form Follow Food?<\/a><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To explain and explore this new trend (along with Conceptual Concrete and Marbling Mood), we created the Form Follows Food<\/a> kitchen trends book. With an aspiration to return to primitive cooking comes the same craving to reimagine kitchen surfaces. Within this movement, the power of the color black is newly revealed and rediscovered. This blackening theme is a new direction, as stark white has been the ideal mainstay of kitchen d\u00e9cor for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, there is a real shift toward dark with black quartz, cast iron, clay pots and scorched ingredients. Dark materials such as stone, slate, porcelain, oxidized metal and lacquered wood are being combined for a completely new take on the modern kitchen. Consumers who are always seeking the next trend are embracing shades of darkness for a completely new vision for their culinary spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
