For Fisher & Paykel, kitchen design has never been just about aesthetics or performance. It’s about responsibility. With carbon emissions now central to conversations across architecture, construction and regulation, the kitchen is emerging as a space with untapped potential to support sustainability goals.
Fisher & Paykel’s approach, Design for a Changing World, places this responsibility at the heart of product development. It’s a design philosophy rooted in creating beautiful, enduring products that support both architectural intent and long-term environmental performance. From the shift to electric cooking to innovations in food and fabric care, the brand is rethinking how appliances can reduce impact across their lifecycle.
These principles come to life at Fisher & Paykel’s global network of Experience Centres, including the London Experience Centre at 98 Wigmore Street. Each space is designed to showcase the brand’s integrated kitchen solutions in a real, working context. From modular refrigeration and induction cooktops to flexible dishwashing systems, visitors can explore how Fisher & Paykel products complement modern kitchen design while helping to reduce resource use. It’s also an opportunity to engage with product experts and discover how thoughtful specification can elevate both performance and sustainability.
This ongoing commitment to sustainability is supported by Fisher & Paykel’s Carbon Impact Statement, published in 2024, which provides transparency on the brand’s own emissions across manufacturing, transport and product use. It’s not just about tracking progress; it’s about taking action. Already, Fisher & Paykel has introduced measurable improvements, such as upgrading energy ratings on refrigeration products under the latest efficiency standards.
To support the wider industry in moving toward lower-carbon outcomes, Fisher & Paykel has also developed a RIBA-approved CPD, Reducing Carbon Footprint through Sustainable Appliance Choices in Residential Environments. The session introduces specifiers and designers to key ideas around electrification, energy efficiency and responsible product selection, supported by tools like in-use carbon estimates.
It also explores how small design decisions can support bigger environmental goals: heat pump dryers that use half the energy of conventional models, intelligent dishwashing that adapts to half loads, and refrigeration that helps reduce food waste – one of the largest contributors to global emissions.
In a shifting landscape where decarbonisation and design are increasingly intertwined, Fisher & Paykel is offering more than appliances. It’s offering a partnership built on insight, innovation and a shared commitment to the future.
