Forthis study, characteristics of food culture in Korea and Europe were examined and kitchenenvironment and furniture from 1970 to 2010 were analyzed after selecting three Korean,German and Italian kitchen furniture companies. Korea has social environments influenced byConfucianism and Yin-yang & five elements of the universe and four seasons, is a peninsularstate, has a temperate climate, and is characterized by dietary life and environment representedby fermented foods like Kimchi and Cheonggukjang. Italy has a history of commercial city, is thecenter of culture and arts, has social environments of the aristocracy and warm and humidsummer, is a peninsular state located in the Mediterranean sea, has developed fermented foodslike grape wine and cheese, and enjoys eating meat, bread and vegetables. Germany has uniquesocial environments affected by absolutism, different seasons in each region and developedpreserved foods like beer and sausage. These food cultures have influenced the formation ofkitchen environments and it is considered that natural environment, social environment anddietary life and environment are associated with structure, positioning and function, respectively. When analyzing kitchen furniture brands of the three countries, it was found that Korean kitchenfurniture lacks a combination of natural elements a little, compared to European kitchenfurniture, although Korea is rich in natural elements. Even in modern times, kitchen space inKorea is sealed and only serves as a fundamental function of cooking. In relation to the relationbetween Korean food culture and kitchen furniture, it is thought that the use of food culture inkitchen furniture has been little passive in Korea.
