This week we have five small but influential kitchens. The National Museum in Oslo recently acquired a rare 'Frankfurt kitchen' from 1960 which went on display in 2022, cleverly lit to make it look as though it's a lovely sunny day.

It aimed to increase efficiency and hygiene, and the layout also reflects the ideas of the domestic scientist Christine Frederick.
