A product’s utility is only as good as its design. If it’s not intuitive, or simply doesn’t look good, it’s not going to catch on. Since 1953, the iF International Forum Design, based in Hanover, Germany, has celebrated the best in product design with the annual iF Design Awards. More than recognizing accomplishments to date, the awards signal the future of product aesthetics and functionality — on scales as grand as architecture and interiors, and as small as countertop appliances or watches. Below, find a selection of our favorite cooking tools and tableware honored with iF Design Awards this year, and catch a glimpse of the kitchen of the future.
