Third Place: Elements Modular Kitchen

courtesy of Electrolux Design Lab

Taking third place is the Elements Modular Kitchen, an adaptive modular shelving unit that combines cooking, refrigerating, air conditioning and lighting into one wall-mounted appliance. Designer Matthew Gilbride envisions the installation of multiple units in entirely customizable arrangements, appointing refrigerator and stove-top space with the press of a button. Powered by wireless technology, each unit’s functions can be easily modified to create multiple work stations, condensing entire kitchens into a single wall display.

Neat, but wouldn't the fridge polymers collect bacteria?

Nice concepts! The fridge thing is pretty decent. Polymer is an excellent insulator but, I too also, wonder about cleaning such a device.

self cleaning process... maybe have a device next to it that works like a circular vacuum. takes in gel, cleans it, and spits it out constantly.
