Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Siemens’ Red Dot success

Siemens’ flexinduction cooktop receives a ‘dot’ at this year’s design awards.


Induction cooking, that somewhat inexplicable (despite the sound science) process by which the metal of the cooking vessel is heated while the glass top of the hob isn’t, is at the cutting edge of kitchen technology.

Already praised for it’s even, rapid heating, safety and convenience, the system has been given a further boost in it’s incarnation as Siemens’ Flexinduction cooktop. Aside from the obvious – the elegantly minimalist black glass, the touch sensitive power adjustment with 17 levels – what really sets this cooktop aside is it’s being made up of 2 big induction surfaces that cleverly detect the size of the cooking implement (or implements!) on them and automatically heat only the area they rest upon. 

This gives users the freedom to use extra-lage or unusually shaped cooking implements and combine various sized implements together in whichever configuration they choose. Furthermore it improves the energy efficiency of the cooktop, as only the areas in use are powered. 

It is unsurprising that this innovative and functional product should garer recognition from the Red Dot jurors, who rewarded it with a prestigious ‘dot’.
