Kitchen Must Haves

Unbreakable glasses, ceramic knives and Kevlar aprons are the wave of the kitchen of the future according to materials expert and former Parsons School of Design Materials Curator, Emily Stevenson. (Stevenson talked to us about buying glass furniture too).

She likes the thick double walled borosilicate glass drinking glasses by Bodum. They’re attractive, act as a thermos and can really take a beating.

The knives she chooses are CeraStar ceramic kitchen knives that hold on to their perfect edges after years of use and, she says, last forever.

And for the chef who really gets into cooking, a Kevlar apron sports “an alluring chrome-like shine” and resists heat up to 600 degrees.
