  Who is invited? I'd like to be there and I'm sure that pinhut and AJP Crown would relish the opportunity to air their views on the future of kitchens.

  As it happens I'm quite interested in the idea of surrealist architecture, mostly because not much was ever done with it -- not by architects at any rate. Aldo Rossi alluded to DiChirico in some of his drawings, but that's as far as he went. Then there's a pink-covered book on architecture and film by ... a woman who died, whose father worked for Harold Wilson; anyway, it mentions Bunuel. Other than that... I'm a bit worried by "everything that the rational, functional Modernist house is not", that can't be right. I don't see any future for kitchens. Furry teacups is all in the past.

  Kitchens don't have a future. We can print food:

  Thomas, is there anything wrong with IKEA sponsoring 'The Surreal House' or 'The Future of Kitchens'?

    Thanks, I'd forgotten about that. You do give short replies.

  why have a panel discussion when you can have a lino discussion? or even a worktop workshop.

    That's disgraceful. I love the way he cuts from husband to wife in about five different beds.

  For the one non-Guardian reader here, this works quite well with the surreal house.
