What’s cool about the Electrolux Barbecue Island, though, is that it has been designed to be a place where people congregate to converse with the cook.

Extremis BeHive was deliberately designed with the idea of making togetherness not just a dream, but a reality. It is over twelve feet in diameter and large enough to seat twenty people, even if all of them are lying down.

A family just has to be together, I think, which is what I find myself liking all the more about what Ernestomeda has done here with their kitchen designs.

These range and stovetop designs from KitchenAid are the stuff dreams are made of, to paraphrase the last line from “The Maltese Falcon,” because, really, when you think about it so much of good kitchen design is fantasy.
