kitchen design at a detailed level. He devised V-groove door panels to make composite doors appear framed, suitcase-style door handles, ergonomics based on flexed elbow measurements, raised height dishwashers and freestanding kitchen furniture with specific functional features. He brought to this marketplace pattern, colour, soft shapes, multiple work surface levels on central islands and throughout the kitchen, the mixing of materials, reintroduction of homely features and normalisation of kitchens as sociable living rooms. Author Grey's first book The Art of Kitchen Design (Cassell 1994, in print for 14 years) includes the social history of the kitchen. In 1997 Cassell published The Hardworking House, a collection of essays on the history of home design. In 1997 The Kitchen Workbook was also published in a series of home design books for Dorling Kindersley, later incorporated into DK’s The Complete Home Design Workbook (1998). Grey's Kitchen Culture was published in 2004 with English, American, Russian and Asian editions. Education and teaching Johnny Grey is an advocate of university-level education for kitchen designers, with the aim of creating a kitchen design profession. He participates in the initiative to create apprenticeships for the kitchen sector. In 2012 Grey was appointed Visiting Professor of Design and Kitchen Culture at Bucks New University. He wrote their kitchen design foundation degree course with Professor Alison Shreeve. The programme covers interior design, architecture, furniture and product design, design history, kitchen culture, marketing, social media, business and project management. It was launched in 2013 as a blended format, the first students graduating in 2017. He resigned from the university in October 2020 and has no connection with the current course. Within the School of Design, Craft and Visual Arts, Grey creates links between the kitchen industry, design professions and tertiary education. In 2016 he founded the Kitchen Education Trust with Craig Matson, a registered charity for the funding of kitchen design education and provision of bursaries. The Trust joined with the Furniture Industry's Education, Skills and Training Alliance (FIESTA) chaired by Gary Baker. It is establishing an apprenticeship Home and Kitchen degree, setting the kitchen in a wider cultural, research, educational and commercial context. In 2017, Grey collaborated with Sevra Davis, director of education at the Royal Society of Arts, and Professor Peter Gore and Patrick Bonnet from the National Innovation Centre for Ageing in Newcastle, to extend accessible design education into kitchen design and assist with changing the language
