He appeared in a short video introducing the idea of the evening kitchen, with a follow-up interview published by the Spoon describing a kitchen design that summons all five senses to create a warm, welcoming environment. Multi-generational Kitchen project Known as the Four Generational Kitchen (4GK), this research project with Professor Gore into kitchens for people of any age and any ability, received funding from Northern Accelerator Fund in 2019. Legal and General Capital subsequently funded the development work by Johnny Grey Studios, with the resulting kitchen for exhibition at the National Innovation Centre for Ageing in Newcastle in October 2020. Over 25 British and European companies have come together in the 4G Consortium to supply product and technology. The project’s purposes are to design and deliver prototypes, licence production designs both physical and virtual, offer industry and entrepreneurs opportunities for real-world testing and deliver training in layout, component design and configuration of the smart technology elements. It also facilitates collaboration between industry and university researchers. Its display kitchen will move to a number of locations in 2020 and 2021 for testing and research.
