Hasta La Ideas

Marrying the concept of wearable technology with appliances is a new arena that designers are delving into. Imagine wearing a device or appliance that dispels purified air that is aromatic and the fragrance customizable. Say hello to the Hand Tree, a personal air purifier concept that cleans and filters the air around the wearer.

Working on the principle of plants, Hand Tree absorbs the dirty air and emits purified one, thus creating its own atmosphere around a person. It surrounds a person with perfume of their choice.

Hand Tree is an Electrolux Design Lab 2013 semi-finalist project.

Designer: Alexandr Kostin

‘There is not much joy in frozen pizzas or eating out every other night.’ Based on his personal experience of living alone and hating to cook for a single person, designer Kim Risager brings us the alternative of the Fastronomy Cooker. Will this turnkey appliance motivate the singletons to cook a sumptuous meal or will this concept just be that – another idea; lets have a look.

Research in Scandinavia shows that since 1980, the amount of home cooked meals has dropped from 72% to approximately 50%. This is probably true for many parts of the world. Fastronomy is fast gastronomy in a product and service Essentially, the Fastronomy Cooker is a mini-kitchen that replaces cooking in the oven, frying in a pan and boiling in a pot with hot air and steam in a glass.

The system is an online Fastronomy Delivery Service where you can select the meals you would like to eat the same night. A single portion of ingredients for your meal arrives at your doorstep, and then all you need to do is combine and assemble. You may not be doing the cutting and chopping, but at least you get the satisfaction of whipping up a hot, fresh meal. When the cooking is done, the double walled cooking glasses can be taken out and cleaned in the dishwasher.

KÜMA – 15 is a combination mixer/scale designed to save space and time when you’re whipping up complex mixtures. Rather than weigh out ingredients one by one and then toss into the bowl, the appliance doubles as a scale to make measuring a seamless part of the workflow. Cleaner, more efficient, and easy-to-use, it’s an innovative hybrid solution for the serious chef.

The Sensi Standmixer is an exploration into stretching the versatility of appliances to go beyond the confines of the kitchen. Instead of standing over the food item being processed, the user can remove the top portion of the device to monitor its progress via a camera and display connected over WiFi. Control the time, temperature, speed and more remotely from the comfort of the couch or while doing other household chores!

Designer: Peter Braakhuis

As far as kitchen appliances go, we have seen very little action with the hand blender. Limited innovations mean a lot of scope for improvement; maybe this is why I fancy this Mini Hand Blender concept. It’s an all-in-one deal that can be operated with one hand. The rechargeable unit can be turned on or off with the flick of the wrist. The Blender case, Blender, and mixing bowl are designed as a single unit so that the blades are kept hygienically stored and safe.

Mini Hand Blender is a 2013 iF Design award – concept design entry.

Designers: Eunhye Lim & Hyunjung Kim
