The CULINA FUTURA M project, utilizing a central control system, impressed the jury both in the "Innovation" category and won a special award from the international jury of Furniture Diamond. This confirms that our Polish company, Majewski Kitchens and Interiors, can create world-class standards in the premium furniture manufacturing sector.

Award-winning smart kitchen from Majewski Kitchens and Interiors

In the era of dynamic smart home development, more and more devices communicate with us through applications. However, the growing number of platforms, inconsistent systems, and network gateways, instead of making life easier, often complicate it. The answer to this chaos is the revolutionary CULINA FUTURA M project, created by MAJEWSKI Kitchens and Interiors, which irreversibly changes this perspective. Instead of dozens of applications on a smartphone, we receive a fully integrated, discreet ecosystem in which the furniture itself becomes an intuitive interface. Using predictive automation, touchless gestures, and aesthetic physical buttons hidden in the cabinetry, the kitchen ceases to be merely a collection of household appliances and becomes a true, intelligent hub of family life. This unprecedented innovation was recognized on the international stage—the project won a double statuette in the prestigious Furniture Diamond 2026 competition, triumphing in the "Innovation" category and winning a special distinction from the International Jury.

The smart home market in Poland – key trends and challenges

In the Polish market, intelligent household appliances are gaining unprecedented momentum. It is estimated that by 2026, its value will reach 283 million USD, and by 2029 it may exceed the barrier of 440 million USD. Interestingly, Poland today accounts for approximately 35% of the production of large household appliances in the entire European Union. Despite this, the adoption of full, advanced smart systems in private homes still encounters barriers resulting from the high costs of closed luxury systems, complicated configuration of amateur solutions, and concerns about the stability of wireless connections. Analyzing trends for 2025-2026, there is a clear shift in investor priorities toward so-called "Invisible Technology." Electronic equipment, cables, and touch screens protruding from walls are slowly giving way to raw, natural materials such as wood, stone, or concrete. The smart home is meant to be not only a place packed with electronics but, above all, an oasis of peace, highly aesthetic, and bringing real savings to the household budget. Having an optimally configured system can reduce heating and energy bills by more than 30%.

Why is full integration the future of the smart home and smart kitchen?

The word "smart" has become synonymous today with almost every gadget connected to the internet. However, a truly intelligent home is something much more than a few Wi-Fi-controlled sockets or light bulbs. To speak of a full-fledged smart home environment, absolutely key elements are needed: a central hub connecting all electronics, control of all functions from one intuitive place, and advanced automation scenarios that execute commands in the background, completely without our intervention.

Most solutions available on the market unfortunately operate in silos. Aggressive advertising campaigns encourage the purchase of refrigerators with internal cameras or remotely controlled ovens, but in practice, users are forced to juggle multiple applications to cook one dinner. Analysts describe this situation as the "interoperability paradox." Owners of several devices from different top brands cannot control them from one place because each company locks the customer into its own closed cloud ecosystem. This creates frustration and means that technological potential is not being utilized. The future, therefore, is full hardware integration and open architecture (API) that unifies the operation of the home, making it a cohesive organism.

Essentially, you can equip your kitchen with intelligent technology just as you would any other part of your home or apartment. It should be remembered that most modern kitchens today are connected to the living room (accounting for 80% to 86% of market implementations), and together they often constitute 3/4 of the apartment or house area. Thanks to integrated systems, you can centrally control lighting, room climate, or the degree of shading of the living space from the level of a modern kitchen.

Furniture Diamond 2026 – triumph of innovation in the kitchen and living room from Majewski Kitchens and Interiors

The answer to all these market challenges is the award-winning CULINA FUTURA M project, created by us—the kitchen and furniture manufacturer Majewski—using proven, professional technological solutions from the Polish brand (Grenton). The impressive product strategy, analytical concept, and positioning that changed the perception of technology in the furniture industry were handled by Piotr Chodak (1mg.pl / https://piotrchodak.pl).

This groundbreaking, architectural approach to blurring the boundaries between traditional carpentry and engineering met with enormous industry recognition. The CULINA FUTURA M system from Majewski Kitchens and Interiors was doubly awarded the Furniture Diamond 2026 statuette. It won not only in the rigorous "Innovation" category but also—which is an unprecedented event in the history of the competition—won the prestigious International Jury Award. This is proof that the premium furniture market demands a reversal of the gadgetry trend in favor of utility, a return to form, and an effective fight against technological exclusion.

From Smart Hardware to Smart Ecosystem - the kitchen as an invisible interface

Many furniture manufacturers still define the concept of an intelligent kitchen through the level of "Smart Hardware." This means only adding mechanical conveniences: soft-close systems, automatically extending cargo-type shelves, or push-to-open fronts. While this facilitates organization, it does not create a true home network.

The project from (https://majewski.eu/) jumps to a higher level—"Smart Ecosystem." The key element of this nervous system is a central controller (hidden in a standard residential electrical box). It communicates with lighting modules, blinds, air quality sensors, and household appliances. However, the real revolution takes place at the level of user contact itself. The furniture becomes the interface. The project uses solutions that are ingenious in their discretion:

Gesture panel: An invisible sensor handling spatial hand movements.
Button panel: Elegant touch zones flush with the countertop or vertical island wall.

These panels are perfectly integrated into the furniture structure—color-matched or even completely hidden under a layer of thin veneer or quartz sintered stone. The technology works silently in the background, and you no longer need to search for your phone with flour-covered hands to change a music track or turn on task lighting.

Household appliances in an intelligent kitchen including refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher integrated into one organism

Refrigerator as your personal assistant

Smart Home intelligent refrigerators effectively solve the classic problem: you're standing in the supermarket and can't remember if there's still milk at home. Modern devices are equipped with internal cameras. Just look at your smartphone screen for the refrigerator to show you the current contents of its shelves. Moreover, these devices often have large external displays flush with the front. This allows you to check supplies without opening the door, which drastically translates into electricity savings and minimization of cold loss.

Intelligent Oven and Cooktop

The smart home trend has revolutionized thermal processing. Ovens are entering the market that can simultaneously bake a main dish and side dishes with completely different characteristics, adjusting the process so that everything is ready at the same fraction of a second. Ovens and modern induction cooktops built into kitchens with islands have sensors that automatically recognize the size of the cookware, locate the pot on the smooth glass surface, and heat only designated zones. Moreover, intelligent frying sensors prevent overcooking or burning of food through automatic power regulation.

Dishwashers and innovative hoods

Modern dishwashers are equipped with optical scanners that analyze the degree of soiling of tableware in the finest detail and adjust the washing time and water consumption accordingly. Kitchen hoods, on the other hand, are becoming fully autonomous devices—they respond to the presence of fumes and independently activate optimal draft, and thanks to integration in the CULINA FUTURA M system, they can be coupled with the mechanical ventilation of the entire house.

Hidden everyday appliances – Lidlomix, Thermomix, and coffee machine in modern cabinetry

The bane of many beautiful, open kitchens is the accumulation of small appliances on countertops. Multifunctional devices, while facilitating cooking, disrupt aesthetics. Designers from Majewski Kitchens have introduced automated electric lifts for devices such as the extremely popular Thermomix, the competing Lidlomix (Monsieur Cuisine), slow juicers, or advanced coffee machines into their implementations.
Thanks to intelligent mechanisms integrated with the furniture system, this equipment emerges from inside the cabinet or directly from the countertop exactly when it is needed. After finishing work—it descends, freeing up a perfectly smooth work surface, which is absolutely crucial for maintaining purism and minimalism, especially in loft kitchens. Even the coffee machine becomes part of the ecosystem; the smart home or smart kitchen, based on a welcome scenario, can brew coffee for you right after waking up.

Real-life scenarios – everyday convenience in a smart kitchen

To fully understand the potential of CULINA FUTURA M, one must look at how this technology actually relieves residents. Culina Futura M was designed with open kitchens in mind, which often occupy ¾ of the apartment or house area. It integrates lighting, blinds, and ventilation in the kitchen and living room, ensuring a cohesive appearance of furniture. In this way, the kitchen becomes not only a place for cooking but a true center of family life.

Example of the Nowacki family – time savings and smooth operation

Mrs. Nowacka is preparing a quick dinner. Her hands are dirty with flour and grease. Instead of looking for switches or unlocking her phone with dirty fingers, she makes a simple upward hand gesture over the invisible panel in the countertop. The system responds immediately:

A lift with spice jars silently emerges from the kitchen countertop.
Powerful task lighting ideal for cutting and working in the kitchen turns on above the island.
The kitchen hood starts at optimized speed.
Another hand movement to the right turns on her favorite Spotify playlist in the speakers built into the suspended ceiling.
When cooking is coming to an end, Mr. Nowacki makes a downward gesture. The hood falls silent, the lift with the Thermomix device hides in the furniture body, and the bright light goes out, giving way to warm, ambient lighting that smoothly introduces household members into evening relaxation. Pressing the flush button "Dinner" simultaneously lowers the large curtains in the living room.
Kitchen life scenario in the family scheme: A family with two children uses the gesture panel. While preparing dinner, a wave of the hand is enough to turn on the light on the countertop, start the hood, and extend the shelf with spices. A downward gesture turns off the light and hides all devices, while simultaneously in the living room the "Relax" scene turns on—dimmed lighting, blinds down, and background music.
Senior scenario: Elderly people often have problems operating applications on smartphones. Culina Futura M offers physical buttons matched to the countertop and gestures that work even with wet hands. A laser sensor in the furniture plinth detects movement at night and turns on soft floor lighting, minimizing the risk of falls.
Safety scenario: The system automatically detects smoke and flooding—in case of fire, it cuts off power to the oven, and in case of dishwasher failure, it shuts off the water supply. Notifications go to your phone, but household members can also easily disconnect the entire kitchen with one button.

Ergonomics Plus Kitchen Project – technology breaking barriers in smart kitchen solutions

This module earned the kitchen furniture manufacturer Majewski ovations from the international jury. It is a nod toward universal design (Inclusive Design), aimed at the growing population of seniors and people with mobility limitations. Standard smartphone applications are a nightmare for people with arthritis, vision problems, or weakened grip.

Redundancy (Accessibility): Each key function has two invocation modes. Emergency power cutoff in sockets (e.g., for a turned-on toaster)—the so-called "Master Off"—can be invoked with a touchless gesture, but also with an easy-to-locate, powerful physical button.
Safe night navigation: Laser sensors hidden in traditional kitchen cabinetry and plinths track movement close to the floor. When a senior gets up in the middle of the night, the system activates very gentle, 20-percent floor lighting, creating a safe path to the toilet, reducing the risk of dangerous falls in the dark.
Support for wheelchair users: Actuators connected to the panel allow a person in a wheelchair to lower highly mounted cargo cabinets straight in front of them, eliminating the need for dangerous reaching for heavy stacks of plates.

Craftsmanship and technology in the kitchen and living room - own production of kitchen and living room furniture with quality guarantee

The award confirms the position of Majewski Kitchens and Interiors as a leader in the furniture industry. The company is renowned for masterful craftsmanship, individual approach to the client, and modern machinery. Its own carpentry shop, metalworking shop, and paint shop guarantee the highest quality of kitchen furniture production and perfect execution.

What undoubtedly distinguishes implementations bearing the Majewski logo is the fact that the company is not merely an assembly plant for ready-made components but a true craftsman with enormous technological backing.

Our carpentry shop, where high-grade wood species are cut and milled with millimeter precision, creating structures for hidden automation.
Our metalworking shop is a key department for the production of ultra-durable steel frames for powerful kitchen islands, as well as loft shelving and furniture with gold, copper, and brushed steel accents.
Paint shop for kitchen furniture responsible for perfect, often double-sided painting of fronts using ecological water-based paints with minimal VOC emissions. This is where the desired "soft touch" effect (resistant to fingerprints) or deep gloss is achieved.
Such production integration allows engineers to seamlessly build wiring, LED lighting power supplies, and control panels in the smart kitchen already at the stage of creating the furniture body, without makeshift modifications at the client's home.

Match the kitchen style to yourself – from modern to loft

Every integrated smart home system requires appropriate architectural framing. Whether you prefer the coolness of concrete and steel typical of Loft kitchen, or prefer the warmth of veneers and fluted wood characteristic of Modern kitchen, technology adapts to design, not the other way around.

For clients wishing to preserve the classic spirit, a traditional kitchen is a perfect showcase; our milled frames, jewelry-like handles, and marble countertops excellently mask built-in light and temperature sensors. Particularly appreciated is the majestic Kitchen with island, which as a central monolith combines all the automation powering TV equipment, the washing zone, and the heating zone.
