What is the "Kitchen Work Triangle"? Designers Explain This Almost 100-Year-Old Design Rule

A kitchen designed in light wood.

The "kitchen work triangle" isn't a new idea — in fact, it's a concept that dates back to as early as the 1920s according to some design historians. This layout concept is one that any kitchen designer will be familiar with, that's all about making your workflow around the kitchen when cooking as easy as possible.
