We are proud to announce that ASKO’s Elements range has been awarded a 2019 Good Design Award. The prestigious Good Design Awards are bestowed to acknowledge excellence in design and innovation. Among the most respected and recognised international design endorsements, it indicates a unique, standout product.
Elements by ASKO is a distinctive range including the Pyrolytic Oven, Pure Steam Oven, Combi Microwave Oven, and other oven products. The design of these luxury kitchen products have been inspired by the forces of nature, namely fire, air, water, and earth. These elements have influenced physical designs, choice of materials, finishings, and intuitive controls. The result is a line of top performing appliances devoted to cooking.
Challenge
The challenge faced by ASKO in creating the Elements line was to develop cooking products which blend aesthetic appeal with effortless useability. With home chefs and design lovers in mind, the specific aim of Elements was to offer versatile multi-functionality, while making it simple and intuitive to use. The beautiful designs should blend in seamlessly with the rest of a contemporary kitchen’s design
Solution
A special glass was developed as a consistent design carrier across the Elements line. Distinct in appearance, the soft-black painted glass stands out with a subtle metallic sprinkle, delivering a look which is deep and rich. User interfaces are simple and engaging to use, inviting you to explore every feature and function. The most frequently used functions can be accessed directly, while a functional, sophisticated design is maintained through striking lines and artistic use of colors. Only the most premium materials have been used; high quality stainless steel, ceramic glass, and dials formed from solid metal. This ensures reliable performance and product longevity.
Impact
The Elements range has established ASKO as a supplier of truly premium cooking appliances. The combination of stunning style, professional-level cooking capabilities, and the human-centred approach has been well received by home chefs, whether they be novice or expert. Engineering, technology, and design delivered in the Elements range makes life and experiences in the kitchen easier and more enjoyable.
Congratulations, ASKO!
