Inspired by technology, the Steam Wave is a compact countertop oven with multiple cooking functions bringing an advanced and alluring aesthetic to kitchen appliances. Given 360° consideration, this product allows for a wider range of placement options within the kitchen. An edgeless glass face interrupted by a welcoming aluminum handle communicates a hushed solidarity while the vertically tapered door blurs the line between microwave and conventional oven. On the rear an esthetically pleasing cover was added providing an extra layer of safety while conveniently integrating a cord management solution.
