From sunflowers to smart appliances, Teka has reimagined the kitchen as a space shaped by creativity and function
Bold, creative and undeniably vibrant, Sunflower One of the most recognizable works of Vincent Van Gogh, known for making everyday subjects appear expressive and full of life.
That same sense of warmth and character is now finding its way into the kitchen, as Teka marks its 100-year milestone with a makeover that blends design, technology and art.
Under the theme “Beyond 100 Years Designing the Next Chapter”, the brand introduces two major collections, including a collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum that brings fine art into everyday life. The approach is simple. The kitchen is no longer just a functional space. It becomes a space shaped by individual style, creativity and daily rituals.
When art enters everyday spaces
The Van Gogh Museum Edition is exclusively taken directly from the artist’s work SunflowerPainted in the late 1880s. Known for its deep yellow colors and textured brushwork, this series captures the warmth, emotion and sense of life found in ordinary objects.
That walks through the effects collection. The appliances feature subtle references to the painting, as well as Van Gogh’s signature, applied throughout the kitchen range, which includes ovens, microwaves, induction and gas hobs, extractor hoods and combi fridges.
Rather than standing out as a statement piece, the designs are meant to sit naturally within the space. The result is a kitchen that feels well-thought-out and expressive, where visual details become part of everyday use.
A cool take on modern luxury
Along with the art-based collection, Teca introduces the Infinity G1 Edition, developed with Italdesign Giugiaro.
The range takes cues from automotive and jewelery design, featuring a matte black finish with copper accents. The aesthetics are clean and structured, focusing on durability and ease of use without drawing unnecessary attention.
Backed by German engineering, the collection prioritizes functionality while maintaining a consistent visual identity. It shows a different side of the modern kitchen, one that balances performance with design.
How the kitchen continues to evolve
For Teka Malaysia managing director Stan Fong, the milestone signals a sea change. The kitchen is no longer seen just as a place for cooking, but as a central part of daily life.
The latest collections reflect that change. Design and functionality are considered equally important, supported by ongoing investment in research, supply chain sustainability and operational efficiency. The aim is to create products that fit the way people actually live and use their spaces.
Looking forward to more personal places
As Teka moves into its next phase, the focus turns to kitchens that integrate technology, sustainability and personalization. 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 an insightful look at how design and functionality come together in a working kitchen.
With the Van Gogh Museum Edition and the Infinity G1, the direction is clear. Kitchens are no longer defined solely by utility. They are shaped by how people choose to live, express and experience the space around them.
