Evolution of Senses

WHO SAYS THAT HORSEPOWER BELONGS ON THE ROAD AND NOT IN THE KITCHEN?

This is the question we – nobilia and Continental – asked ourselves. By combining our expertise as visionary designers of modern vehicle interiors and pioneers of innovative, design-driven kitchens, we embarked on a shared sensory journey. The result: the kitchen of the future – Evolution of Senses.

This concept merges the design ideas of the tomorrow seamlessly with intelligent, forward-thinking technologies from the automotive world – creating a kitchen experience that’s more comfortable than ever before.

The motto “Feel. Connect. Inspire.” not only captures the essence of the Evolution of Senses kitchen but also reflects the spirit of collaboration between nobilia and Continental – two strong partners in innovation.

WHO SAYS THAT A KITCHEN CAN’T TOUCH THE SENSES?

From preparing food with your own hands, to the aroma of fresh ingredients, the gentle sizzle in the pan, and the harmonious interplay of flavors, cooking is truly a feast for all the senses.

Yet the kitchen offers so much more than just a place to cook and eat. It’s the heart of every home. A space where life happens. It creates connections between people and between people and technology – intuitively and in perfect harmony. This holistic spatial concept becomes part of everyday life, breaking boundaries and rewriting the rules of what a kitchen can be.

WHO SAYS THAT KITCHENS & CARS DON’T HAVE ANYTHING IN COMMON?

Smart, forward-thinking technologies are making the driving experience more intuitive, safer, and more comfortable every day. That’s why we’re bringing proven innovations from the automotive sector into the kitchen of the future. After all, cars and kitchens have more in common than one might think.

Premium comfort, hidden functions, and minimalist design don’t just enhance vehicle interiors, they revolutionize the classic kitchen setting. From intuitive touch controls and wireless charging surfaces to concealed displays – it’s often the features you barely notice that make the biggest difference.

WHO SAYS THAT AUTOMOTIVE SAFETY FEATURES DON’T BELONG IN A KITCHEN?

Intelligent safety systems have become standard in modern vehicles. Now, with our Evolution of Senses concept, these features are making their way into the kitchen to protect families and help prevent accidents. To achieve this, we harness the power of innovative artificial intelligence technologies.

Hidden placed cameras scan the space for potential hazards and immediately trigger visual and audio alerts when danger is detected – whether from overflowing pots or knives left within children's reach.

Ever thought about whether a navigation system in the kitchen makes sense, to show you the best route to healthy nutrition?

Artificial intelligence not only enhances safety but also contributes to everyday well-being.
Installed cameras recognize dishes and ingredients on the countertop and display nutritional values and calories on a screen integrated into the kitchen niche.

At a mere glance, the system generates inspiring recipe suggestions from available ingredients, analyzing combinations through extensive culinary databases. This not only promotes a healthier lifestyle but also encourages a more sustainable approach to food.

WHO SAYS THAT FRIDGES ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO SHINE FROM INSIDE?

Ambient lighting has been creating a unique atmosphere in vehicle interiors for years. Now, we’re bringing this technological expertise into the Evolution of Senses – the heart of the home. Because the kitchen of the future is more than just functional, it’s a place of well-being, designed to evoke moments of calm and balanced harmony.

Thoughtfully coordinated colors and materials are designed to impress with their soft feel, all while being remarkably easy to maintain. Organic shapes, filigree wave patterns, and three-dimensional textures on the kitchen island and countertop surfaces further enhance the sense of balance and tranquility.

The design is completed by an individual lighting concept that creates a holistic spatial experience. With translucent surface materials even a refrigerator becomes a true design statement!
