While those of us here in America puff our chests out each time we waltz by that LCD-equipped centralpark Connection refrigerator, folks in the UK can get extra prideful courtesy of John Lewis. Although the integrated coffee machine, electric oven, steam oven and 19-inch HD-ready LCD TV can all be purchased separately, they’re being (smartly) marketed together to create the “ultimate kitchen combo.” The whole shebang will run you £2,246 ($4,363), and not surprisingly, it’s the £699 ($1,358) tele that’s likely to bring in the most profit. Meat-heads will agree to anything with pixels though, right?

In 10 years you might find kitchens utilizing features like theAion by Antoin Lebrun. The specialized plants were developed by the aerospace industry for their filtering and cleaning properties. They provide a renewable supply of clean water and vegetable soap. When cooking, the plants act as a filtering hood. When it’s time to clean up, simply place the dirty dishes in the sink, close the hood, and the all natural clean cycle begins.

Altera Design Studio’s innovative kitchen Concept Alight Kitchen was recently awarded at the Incheon International Design Competition 2007 and will be exhibited at Incheon International Design Fair this December. The project deals with global shortages of clean water, food, resources. In such alarming times, what is the role of a designer? It is an unavoidable fact that innovative systems and products need to be designed for a sustainable way of life. That’s where the ALight Kitchen comes in.
The system is designed to not only minimize waste materials but to make people aware of how much they’re consuming.
- Only ready-made food and beverages are consumed in sheet-metal packaging so people will be conscious about what and how much they eat.
- Food and beverages packs will be kept inside the cooling unit of the system. It only allows storage of 3 days’ worth of food.
- A Smart oven warms up the food in groups to minimize how often it’s used. It arranges the ideal time and temperature for the packs by reading their barcodes.
- There are 4 hollow plates located on the main dining table. Each of them can rotate on its center-axis so you can eat on the either side of the plate. The center of the table houses a small flatware station.
- The integrated dishwasher conserves water by filtering and reusing previous wash water.
- All plates are stored underneath in their own compartments.

Designed to invoke the coziness of nanna’s best room, Grandma’s Kitchen is the ultimate example of space efficiency. The unit transforms into a full kitchen complete with a sink, oven, fridge and cooktop to prepare your meals. Then thru a series of slides and latches transforms into a dining area for 4. The great thing about this design is if you don’t feel like cleaning up after a big meal, just push everything back in and close up shop. Out of sight, out of mind - that is until the following morning.
Designer: Melanie Olle & Ilja Oelschlägel
