Looking to the future: what will be the kitchen after 10 years

World Exhibition "Expo-2015" will be held in Milan, Italy under the slogan "Feeding the planet. Energy for Life. " The world population is growing, migration is enhanced, the living space is reduced, natural resources running out, food becomes more expensive, and saving questions sound more and more threatening. In the coming decades, our habitat will change with our habits. Last but not least will be transformed and our home, including the kitchen - the heart of any home, the center of its activity, comfort and creativity.

So says IKEA. The Swedes need no introduction. Who else but them to know about our way of life and comfort of the home. Specialists of the company for 18 months to work in conjunction with IDEO London (large design firm) and a group of students from Lund University and the Technical University of Eindhoven. A collaborative effort to take real shape, by which just does not get through. So, what is so interesting napridumyvali guys? Consider the kitchen elements separately.

Cooking

What would you have preferred to compact the kitchen: a large plate or a roomy table? In this case, the question because it is not necessary in principle. Here the familiar piece of furniture combines and hob, and a dining table and countertop for cutting, working space and a place to play.

Coherent system of multiple cameras and projectors recognizes products and offers recipes based on them. Intelligent Assistant takes into account the cooking time, so you have time to cope with the planned without delay. The table will tell the chemical composition of your meals and calorie - monitor the health will be much easier. He knows how to minimize waste, do not forget to feed the whole family.

Still not confident in their abilities? It offers live broadcast lessons kitchen skills from family members or any other entry in the Internet. And you do not need flickers: the picture is projected directly onto the surface of the table, under which there are induction coils. This automatically adjusts the electric heating temperature. In this case, it can not burn on the arms, back and other parts of the body when fed a partner decides to immediately thank you for a wonderful dinner. And while you are busy, mobile gadgets have been charged in a wireless manner.

Storage products

In the kitchen of the future is no refrigerator in the usual sense. Dvuhmetrovaya pandora will give way to compact shelves for storing only the freshest and most essential products. The usual scheme of packing of the eyeballs at the weekend with an eye for the whole week will go into oblivion. Unmanned drones delivered the meat, vegetables and all-all-all within minutes in a very best condition.

Whole Foods is located in a prominent place in a transparent container, which virtually eliminates its damage due to your forgetfulness and inattention. You spend less on electricity and overdue purchase - the savings is obvious.

Cooling products to the required level is almost completely automated. All that is required from the person - e-stick label with the packaging on the outside of a particular storage container. Induction shelves believe information and expose the optimum temperature. Clever dishes from a special alloy switches itself on cooking with frozen if it put on the stove.

Recycling

for separate waste collection campaign in the near future can get a little unexpected twist: the citizens will pay for non-recyclable and fit for processing waste on tariffs. And in general prices will grow. This will draw attention to the environment. People willy-nilly priobschatsya to the "green movement" and assist them in the domestic waste sorting system.

Organic waste is washed into the sink, get into the filter system, where they will be dried and compressed into briquettes.

The inorganic waste will be sorted according to material. Sensitive determine container, from which the bank is made, bottle or package, divide them sealed in a vacuum envelope and inflict thermal label with the information about the re-use capability.

The turnover of the water

One of the main sources of life greatly undervalued today. But more and more dry years the situation will change soon. We will take care of the water from the tap, and it will be typed by the time of innovation.

Standard sink will have two modes of operation. When it is tilted to the left "gray" water will drain into the storage tank and later used for watering plants or washing dishes.

The slope of the right to send "black" in the normal flow of the sewage system to clean up.

conclusion

I really liked the concept from IKEA. It seems that designers and engineers have guessed with everything: the most versatile surface for cooking food, compact shelves for storage, smart ware, eco-friendly waste collection systems and water drainage. The only thing that seemed wrong, - timing of the project. I believe the future can be approximated by several years. Let it be not in our area. What do you think?
