    Future Lifestyle

Lifestyle Showcase: Better Living Tomorrow Focusing on the themes of food preparation, family gathering, relaxation, and beauty and health, Panasonic presents the "lifestyles we all desire" technically possible within the next five years. These themes will be presented in four living environments of the kitchen, dining room, living room and bedroom, with home interiors and consumer electronics blended in harmony.

Kitchen The kitchen encourages rich and healthy eating habits, like having your own professional chef and nutritionist in your home, through Panasonic’s advanced kitchen appliances and cloud services that make preparing nutritionally-balanced gourmet dishes as simple as a piece of cake.
