kitchen ecology: recipes for good design
dwell on design, los angeles convention centre
june 26th to 28th, 2009

last year's 'kitchen ecology' exhibition invited designers to submit their recipes for good design
revolving around the kitchen environment. the show discussed solar power and energy solutions
along with at-home ideas in which we can reduce our carbon footprint within our homes.
the show was such a hit in los angeles that designboom was invited to present the
'kitchen ecology' exhibition in korea at the seoul design festival 2009. since then,
'kitchen ecology' has received a lot of interest and has been translated into japanese, thai
and korean and published globally.



publications from thailand and korea have featured the 'kitchen ecology' exhibition
