I admit, I do snicker a little when I see magazine writers and designers creating “modern” kitchen designs of the future. I have seen “modern” kitchens that were prophesied from the 1950s and 60s; robots that buttered your toast, sensors that watered your herbs, las vegas slot machines that popped out your breakfast cereal, etc. But trends seem to move a lot slower than magazine editors and designers think. And I think that “cozy” and “warm” will always be important to home buyers, no matter what century.
So this is their latest idea. These look rather cold and austere to me, what do you think?
Honestly, I don’t see how any normal family could function with something like this. There are only two stove burners (I often use four and wish I had more), no oven, a tiny sink. Where do you put dirty and washed dishes? Where do you carve the turkey or mix the cake batter? I just love the plants, though. I wish I had enough sunlight in my kitchen to enable me to do it. Maybe someday I’ll get my new kitchen…
This was interesting, too.. but people aren’t robots. Too cold, too drab.

I just want a replicator! Oh, and that Jane Jetson thing to put over my head to do my face and hair. And Rosie the maid.

Maybe the rationale for this kitchen is that nobody will know how to cook, because they’ll all be out eating corn syrup!
