A compact kitchen unit has been developed which squeezes a cabinet, sink, refrigerator and cooker into a space the width of an average kitchen stove.ShelterPop.com noted that the Avanti Complete Compact Kitchen, which is only 30 inches wide, is particularly suited to people who live in a studio apartment or a place thats under 400 square feet.The unit comes in sleek black with a grey countertop and also features an integrated backsplash.In addition to the refrigerator, the model incorporates a separate storage area with two shelves and a door. A moulded kitchen sink with an antique brass kitchen tap also sits adjacent to two hobs.It may not be for everyone, but it definitely gives you all the essential kitchen needs in one cute compact unit, commented ShelterPop.com.This week, Eliot Sefrin, editorial director of Kitchen Bath Design News, argued that there has been a marked transition from years of uncompromised, more-is-better luxury, to a new era where design preferences are more in tune with economic realities.
