From Sunflowers to smart appliances, Teka reimagines the kitchen as a space shaped by creativity and function
Bold, textured and unmistakably vivid, Sunflowers remains one of Vincent van Gogh’s most recognisable works, known for turning everyday subjects into something expressive and full of life.
That same sense of warmth and character now finds its way into the kitchen, as Teka marks its 100-year milestone with a shift that blends design, technology and art.
Under the theme “Beyond 100 Years Designing the Next Chapter”, the brand introduces two key collections, including a collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum that brings fine art into everyday living. The approach is simple. The kitchen is no longer just a functional space. It becomes a place shaped by personal style, creativity and daily rituals.
When art moves into everyday spaces
The Van Gogh Museum Edition draws directly from the artist’s work, particularly Sunflowers, painted in the late 1880s. Known for its bold yellow tones and textured brushwork, the series reflects warmth, emotion and a sense of life found in ordinary objects.
That influence carries through the collection. Appliances feature van Gogh’s signature alongside subtle references to the painting, applied across a full kitchen range that includes ovens, microwaves, induction and gas hobs, extractor hoods and combi fridges.
Rather than standing apart as statement pieces, the designs are meant to sit naturally within the space. The result is a kitchen that feels considered and expressive, where visual detail becomes part of everyday use.
A quieter take on modern luxury
Alongside the art-led collection, Teka introduces the Infinity G1 Edition, developed with Italdesign Giugiaro.
The range takes cues from automotive and jewellery design, with a matte black finish offset by copper accents. The aesthetic is clean and structured, focusing on durability and ease of use without drawing unnecessary attention.
Backed by German engineering, the collection prioritises functionality while maintaining a consistent visual identity. It reflects a different side of the modern kitchen, one that balances performance with understated design.
How the kitchen continues to evolve
For Teka Malaysia managing director Stan Fong, the milestone signals a broader shift. The kitchen is no longer viewed purely as a place for cooking, but as a central part of daily living.
The latest collections reflect that change. Design and functionality are treated as equally important, supported by ongoing investment in research, supply chain consistency and operational efficiency. The aim is to create products that adapt to how people actually live and use their spaces.
Looking ahead to more personal spaces
As Teka moves into its next phase, the focus turns towards kitchens that integrate technology, sustainability and personalisation. With a presence in over 100 countries, the brand continues to expand its range from appliances to complete kitchen systems.
The anniversary also featured a live cooking demonstration by Chef Wan, offering a practical look at how design and functionality come together in a working kitchen.
With the Van Gogh Museum Edition and Infinity G1, the direction is clear. Kitchens are no longer defined by utility alone. They are shaped by how people choose to live, express and experience the space around them.
