Ikea Concept Kitchen 2025
Ikea's Kitchen of the Future Is Smart AND Beautiful
Technology affects our relationship with food more than we realize, whether it's by using Twitter to order pizza or looking up a recipe on an app. But instead of waiting around to see how kitchens will adapt to this new relationship, Ikea has designed one from the future, a project it calls "Concept Kitchen 2025."
The idea is that this kitchen will be a place where people are less wasteful as the world's natural resources become more strained. In partnership with the design company IDEO London and two schools — the Ingvar Kamprad Design Center at Lund University in Sweden and the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands — Ikea conducted extensive research to learn how people use food. The group then came up with four ideas that have come to life through an exhibition at a pop-up store called Salone Del Mobile in Milan, Italy.
The Modern Pantry, the Table for Living, the Mindful Water System, and the Disposal System are the concepts that are meant to "facilitate mindfulness with embedded cues throughout the kitchen." Essentially, the Concept Kitchen is like a high-tech personal assistant that will help you be conscious of your food wastefulness without necessarily changing what you eat.
Check out what a modern kitchen in 2025 might look like, and get ready to start counting down the years.
