Interactive Kitchen Table All-in-one - the visitor from the future

Welcome to our readers in the pages of the blog iCover ! Today we tell immediately two interesting developments for IKEA, presented innovative design studio IDIO, united group of students Design Centre Ingvar Kamprad Университета Lund (Sweden) and Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands) at the booth Concept Kitchen 2025.





Great at first glance, on closer acquaintance, they reveal their practical benefits and allow for a fresh look at the possibility of that neither is an ordinary kitchen table and domestic refrigerator. Such concepts, according to designers from IDEO, will be with us in 2025.

As an analogy that failed to offer students on the "planet of clever gadgets" does not yet exist, we should start by reviewing the video, which will help to generate an overview of the concepts announced.

Universal guide favorite recipes cooking surface + + place for a comfortable meal h2>
When momentary acquaintance possible conceptual table, the proposed student developers are likely to inspire patriarchal housewife or a professional chef contradictory, if not antagonistic feelings. It seems that this large radiant purity worktop takes on too much prejudice in the most important - the possibility of improvisation. Why, they ask, bring to the table top recipes that we currently do not interest? And do not be easier to get acquainted with the interesting menu options, or specify the missing information on the screen of a tablet or in the specialized literature? Yes, and recipes for specialties beloved and familiar culinary craftsmen he always carries with him in the head, often adding to the classical medicine is something personal, something that immediately distinguishes it serves cuisine dishes prepared "on stream" in the traditional way.

There are two options: either to pull the plug on the "digital pedigree" of this technological marvel, and use offers a spacious table with wooden surface as a stylish element in modern kitchen, or else use the entire arsenal of its capabilities to the maximum. Since the first use case, we can go back at any time, still try to get acquainted with the functionality of countertops.

So, what are willing to offer to replace the usual way of the kitchen an innovative digital panel All-in-one and why, in fact, "panel"?

As we have already noted, the table, the camera and projector are invited to make use of complementary and functionally in a single technological complex cooking, controlled by a special program. Thus, table top takes on the functions of high-grade widescreen display, the camera scans the surface, fixing a kaleidoscope of events, the computer processes the information received, the projector broadcasts on the surface of the table the result of processing in the form of useful information and advice, the cook, as a logical complement to the above, takes the user manual note, or does everything in his own way).





One of the nice features of the futuristic table - the possibility of weighing the main ingredients in real time to the nearest gram. Fill up, for example, flour or rice, topped up with milk, potatoes gets ... and watch how much you need for the perfect observance of the selected recipe. No additional analog or electronic scales - all results are instantly displayed on a table surface - display.

From the simple - to complex. This principle is realized in the concept quite elegantly and visually. So, even with two simple ingredients you can get a recommendation for the formulation of a few mouth-watering dishes, and putting on the table a single product - information on the classic blended ingredients. It is very convenient - no need to spend a lot of time searching for the recipe, allowing to build from the fact that there is something original and memorable.

hefty bonus h2>
To interactive table is fully consistent with its concept, its ability to complement the induction hob, the existence of which will not guess even the most biased judge.



The exact place for the dishes represents a light circle. The temperature and time required for the preparation of selected dishes is automatically adjusted in accordance with the executable program that eliminates the need to adjust the parameters in the cooking process. The induction coils arranged in the table top, which performs a function at this stage a full hob, combined with a special insulating coating cookware, guarantee the safety of the wooden cover from the intense heat. The ability to adjust the worktop height for comfortable cooking and dining by a special pen, located to the side of "non-working" hand.

Today it is all what a kitchen table All-in-one.

Pros and Cons h2>
To the arguments "for" looked more convincing, let's try to imagine that we ourselves form a library of favorite recipes, recording them in the convenient form of a special program in memory, and when necessary - draw from memory and then use as directed. At first glance - totally pointless and tedious task that requires time and effort. All true, but here and begin the wonders of digital "table-Samobranka" which, as it turns out, is able to completely liberate us from the need to:

Keep in mind formulated a great many favorite and potentially of interest meals. Track set and the weight of the ingredients that make up the selected dishes. to sacrifice comfort or quality cooking for the sake of a free piece of kitchen space. Search for a place to eat what is prepared.
First and foremost of course, it is quite complex care of wooden surface countertops, which is experiencing constant rough mechanical and other kinds of loads. Yet the tree - not the best solution for the kitchen table.

The second disadvantage, which is likely, it will be easy to eliminate in the process of finalizing the concept - the limitations of the software, now offers a library of preset recipes, without the possibility of making their own adjustments in memory.

Well, the third disadvantage, which many of us are more likely to be identified in the first place - the price of a concept, made up of four components - the cost of the panels, the cost of the camera unit and the projector, the cost of the control unit. It seems with all the negatives.

Judging by the scale and capacity development, such an argument as the value in the conceptual kitchen of the future, is likely to acquire a symbolic meaning. But at the forefront of priorities declared absolute comfort, functionality and rational use of products and storage space, maximum automation onerous for many of us the process of cooking.

Fridge on the wall h2>
Interactive table All-in-one - not the only futuristic marvel submitted IDEO designers and students at this year's Milan show. Another strange, but surprisingly interesting and promising solution in the spirit of Concept Kitchen 2025 was "an open fridge," does not differ in appearance from the usual set of shelves to be set in these sorts of kitchen and decorative trappings.



Each of the shelves in conjunction with special containers, pick up shapes and sizes for optimum preservation of liquid or solid products capable of coping brilliantly with the functions of the traditional massive fridge.

All you need in order to keep food and drinks - put them in a suitable container and place on a specially designated place on their shelves. The temperature inside each container is set automatically by reading RFID-label with the packaging of products regulated and maintained for as long as necessary. Since fish and meat will require the maintenance of a low temperature, the cheese and the milk will remain in a power saving mode. If necessary, unused containers can be turned off.



Thus, the principle of "open fridge" will allow us to save not only the products but also energy, and thus enjoy mind delicious salmon, which, in the firm conviction of the inventors, in 2025 will be as publicly available, as proposed concepts.) < br />
