The Kitchen Of The Future

2018 has been a great year for Nolte. We started off with the Social Kitchen party which took place at the flagship store in Koramangala, Bangalore. We partnered with Celebrity Chef Manu Chandra and thereafter launched new stores in Coimbatore, Jaipur, Mumbai, Mysore, Kolkata, along with The Social Kitchen as the integral part of the events. Today, we are present in 22 cities.

Why The Social Kitchen?
The core idea is that kitchens are no longer the same. They are no longer a place where the meals are prepared within the four walls, they are much more. Today, the Kitchen is the heart of the home. It's a place transformed into a social hub that brings everyone together. Nolte modular kitchens come with different layouts- kitchen islands, open kitchens and kitchens of different shapes that are spacious, allow maximum interaction, and versatility. The kitchens are designed for a cooking experience that's fuss-free, enjoyable and efficient.



Today's kitchen is the other living room, the other place to party. It's the place where the family gathers, where children play, and where friends are entertained. Where thoughts are shared and memories made. It's the multi-faceted heart of the beautiful home, designed to make everyday cooking, and life, real pleasures. Welcome to the Social Kitchen.

The biggest social kitchen ever

Great kitchen design comes not only from great products but from the details. Loaded with innovative features and varied solutions for smart storage, Nolte kitchens can be anything. The life of the party. The centre of activity, art, storytelling and culture. A personal retreat, a space of peace and calm. And of course, it's also the best place to become a master chef.



The dining room is missing
The dining rooms have disappeared, there’s the dining area within the kitchen, usually large enough to hold a table that comfortably seats 6 or more. Besides, the larger kitchens have a sitting area, so that in effect, the whole family can hang out together while cooking, working or relaxing. Many new homes embracing the more casual lifestyle are being built without a dining room or formal living area. For those who enjoy entertaining and do so often, even the homes with formal dining and living areas find that the crowd usually gathers in the kitchen.

The kitchen is ever evolving  
Kitchen functionality and design is ever evolving based on today’s busy and varied lifestyle, with much thought given to where we are headed in the future. Kitchen appliances, from refrigerators to dishwashers and ovens are constantly changing as well. The appliances work with the aid of an app or remote control. Also, there's so much more storage space than one can ever have. With open kitchen and islands, multiple people can cook and move to and fro easily. The kitchen has conquered the living room and has made itself the heart of the home.



The kitchen of the future
Perhaps, say five or ten years down the lane, we'll be having kitchens that for instance order milk when you're running low, tell you which ingredient is getting over and that you need to refill, washes dishes as soon as you keep them in the sink, mobile islands, kitchens that clean after themselves and so on. While the future keeps us puzzled and gives us new hopes, the present is still grounded and it's good to go with the flow.

Today, the kitchen is a place where we probably live more, and more intensively, than anywhere else in the home. It is the place where we meet, where we encounter others. As family and friends. As a couple. We cook, eat and enjoy ourselves. It's a place where we argue. And makeup again. We read, write, send emails, post messages. And maybe philosophise a little. And quite secretly- the kitchen sets the rhythm of our day. Good morning. Then midday. Then evening. And sometimes night...Which is why we love the kitchen. Nolte - The Social Kitchen
