1. The Cookmate
Designed for this new, ‘smaller than life’ home, the Cookmate is an all-in-one kitchen appliance that goes from prep to cooking to serving, in one device. Its modular design has stackable pieces that turn the cooktop into a pan, crock pot, and even a steamer. The induction coil on the inside works on electricity, saving the need to place a gas cylinder under the hob.
Why is it noteworthy?
What we like
- Features an integrated weighing scale
- Can be split into 6 parts
What we dislike
- It’s still a concept!
2. The Cavdle WasteCycler
Working both as a garbage disposal system and a compost generator,
Why is it noteworthy?
The Cavdle WasteCycler relies on 5 parameters to help turn organic substances into compost – Time, Humidity, Temperature, Dry Organics, and Oxygen. It then goes to work, creating compost without the smell, the mess, or even the sound. Operating at just under 35 decibels, the Cavdle WasteCycler grinds down your food waste while heating it up to the exact temperature needed to help good bacteria thrive while killing off the bad bacteria. At the end of the day, you’re left with a natural fertilizer that you can then use to nourish your plants while resting assured that your food waste isn’t going into a landfill where it generates methane and contributes to global warming.
What we like
- The kitchen gadget comes with a transparent-window lid that lets you see how full-empty your device is
What we dislike
- No complaints!
3. The Electrolux Adapted
The Electrolux Adapted is the kitchen essential of the future – compact, sleek, and ideal for tiny homes, this masterful concept is for the ‘singletons’ who want to make the most of a small kitchen. If you want to use the countertop for some real cooking, and don’t feel like cramping it with a gazillion appliances, then Adapted is the product for you!
Why is it noteworthy?
What we like
- Can either be mounted on a wall or placed as a free-standing product with an add-on furniture frame
- All the modules are connected via an Electrolux app, allowing them to be used simultaneously or in sync, and enabling users to create their own personal routines
What we dislike
- It’s still a concept!
4. Peleg’s Fries Clips
Meet
Why is it noteworthy?
The box acts as a perfect ‘stand’ for the clips and can be placed upright on a kitchen countertop. Armed with a magnet on the back, it can be easily affixed to a refrigerator too, making the bag clips handy when you’re snacking in the kitchen.
What we like
- The clips can be reused multiple times
- The clips seal the bags, keeping the items inside fresher for longer
What we dislike
- No complaints!
5. The Irogami Grater
They say that every little thing matters, and that’s especially true for garnishes and grated ingredients. Quite appropriately, this grater is also little, small enough to securely fit in the palm of your hand, almost like a toy. And just like a toy, it is designed to add a bit of fun to your kitchen and dining life while you add a bit of cheese or lemon zest to your dish.
Why is it noteworthy?
What we like
- Compared to those cumbersome graters that you have to hold tight at their handles, this form gives you a firmer grip
- Using this playful grater is like a game itself. Simply move the piece of cheese or stick of cinnamon from left to right and watch the tiny pieces fall down on your food
What we dislike
- Some people may prefer the form and structure of a traditional grater
6. NiNJA’s Knives
Why is it noteworthy?
There is almost no other embellishment on the blade other than the discreet “i” logo, removing any potential distraction. Like a ninja hiding in the shadows or a secret agent in a black suit, these knives stealthily move in for the kill, cutting ingredients with precision and grace.
What we like
- Made of molybdenum vanadium steel, known for its highly durable sharpness
- Each blade from this collection is made one by one by an experienced craftsman
What we dislike
- No complaints!
7. Byrne’s AI-generated Appliances
Catalan Architect Antoni Gaudi has been one of the most popular and decorated names when it comes to modernist works. What if he also designed much more mundane but still useful things? That is the idea behind this series of designs of regular household appliances based on Gaudi aesthetics using artificial intelligence image generator software.
Why is it noteworthy?
What we like
- Make interesting conversation pieces
- The designs are a twist on the otherwise typical and traditional kitchen appliances
What we dislike
- They’re AI-generated, and not actual products yet
8. The Maruzara
Shaped like a small round plate instead of the typical rectangular sheet of metal,
Why is it noteworthy?
That blade arrangement isn’t just for show, though. Unlike a regular grater with rows of blades, you make circular movements to grate ingredients. Rather than falling through holes, the grated pieces accumulate at the sides in full, fluffy lumps. The repetitive action, rather than being tiring and burdensome, becomes almost a mindful practice that puts you in the moment.
What we like
- Comes with a silicon rubber base that stops it from slipping on the table while you make your circling motions
What we dislike
- It’s designed primarily for wasabi and daikon radish, making it a bit limited
- Some people may prefer the form and structure of a traditional grater
9. Roll
Why is it noteworthy?
What makes Roll different from bowl food containers (which do exist, of course) is that it wholeheartedly embraces the culture of using the lid or dish cap as a plate. That’s why the cap itself was made to look presentable, using soft and clean tones like ivory, sky blue, and terracotta. The idea is that you set the freshly cooked food on the lid itself and then later just cover it with the glass bowl when it’s time to put it away.
What we like
- The next time you want to eat the food, you don’t have to rearrange the food again to make it presentable
- Roll takes the food container concept upside-down, literally, by making it usable, whether as a bowl with a round lid or a plate with a bowl cover
What we dislike
- Not the most shape-efficient design/shape
10. Jodana
The name
Why is it noteworthy?
The modular cooktop features the induction cooker itself, as well as a control panel that attaches magnetically, quite similar to how the ROLI Blocks attach to one another to create an electronic musical interface. There are two cooktop styles to choose from, a flat-panel one that serves the role of a traditional induction cooker, as well as a curved surface that’s designed to work with the Kadhai, or the Indian equivalent of a wok. The kadhai plays an integral role in Indian cooking and is used for all sorts of stir-fries, stews, and curries, as well as for frying.
What we like
- Designed for low-income households
- Compact + versatile design
What we dislike
- It’s still a concept!
