SuperstarThe i Food Kitchen Features a Touch-Screen Fridge and Stove

Don’t let the name fool you, the i Food Kitchen is in no way, shape or form a fancy-schmancy iDevice dock. At least, not yet. The i Food Kitchen is a conceptual kitchen designed by Chiara Danielle for the not-so-distant future.

The i Food Kitchen is a single unit containing every appliance you could possibly need. The kitchen is designed to be eco-friendly, with all of the appliances connected to the same grid to prevent power waste. The kitchen is also designed to be tech-savvy: The refrigerator has a touch screen installed on it, while the stove can digitally display updates about the dish being prepared on it such as the weight of the ingredients added.

The i Food Kitchen may be a little too futuristic for today’s homes, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see an all-in-one touchable kitchen become the norm. Unfortunately, we still seem to be a ways away from robotic dishwashers and chefs. Someday soon.

Lifeguard-Inspired Concept Bikes - The Sharpshooter Rescue Bicycle Features a Built-In Winch (TrendHunter.com)

SuperstarThe Sharpshooter Rescue Bicycle Features a Built-In Winch

Lifeguards aren’t necessarily known to ride bicycles, but that could all change thanks to the Sharpshooter Rescue Bicycle, an electric bicycle designed to be used primarily by lifeguards. The bike has a flotation device that can be shot towards a drowning victim and retracted via a winch.

The bicycle is an eco-friendly way for lifeguards to quickly respond to a person in need of assistance. The idea of a bike designed to be used by lifeguards may seem like a bit of a stretch, but I could actually see it working. Lifeguard departments are notoriously underfunded in many beach towns (at least in San Diego). A cheaper alternative to expensive ATVs and trucks such as the Sharpshooter Rescue Bicycle could mean a bigger budget, which would mean more lifeguards on staff.

Blooming Timepieces - The Luna Watch Concept Tells Time Using LED Flower Petals (TrendHunter.com)

SuperstarThe Luna Watch Concept Tells Time Using LED Flower Petals

Telling time using flowers is usually a bad idea, unless you are telling time using the Luna Watch concept. Designer Nigel Roddy has dreamed up a watch that tells time using LED flowers.

The Luna Watch concept is designed to look more like a wristband than an actual watch. The Luna Watch concept has a smooth design and a stylish blue-and-white color scheme that makes it more of a functional fashion piece than a watch. The watch tells time using the three flowers on its face. Each flower has petals that light up to tell the time. The biggest flower tells the hour, the medium-sized flower tells the first part of the minute (from 10 and higher) and the smallest flower tells the second part of the minute (from zero to nine). The watch also has an option to display the time digitally should you get sick of telling time using flowers.

Medicative Seasoning Merchandizing - The S-Capsule Concept Standardizes Salt Serving (TrendHunter.com)

SuperstarThe S-Capsule Concept Standardizes Salt Serving

Cooking can be a complicated affair for an amateur chef, so the S-Capsule concept aims to make the process of food preparation much more comprehensible. Mmiinn concluded that it is often the convoluted procedure of measuring out different ingredients that leaves room for too much error.

The solution is the production and packaging of salt and sugar into 5 gram pills that can be popped from a plastic and aluminum sheet in much the same way that lozenges are sold and accessed. The implications of such a practice ensure a more sanitary and well-preserved product and the ease of fixing dishes with predetermined portions.

The Mmiinn S-Capsule concept also boasts convenient portability of condiments on camping trips and as backup when traveling. For recipe inspiration, the boxes even feature scannable QR codes with simple cooking instructions.
