IKEA recently introduced a conception of what the kitchen of the future might look like. They spent a hardly significant small time of a year on this.

As is often the case, the ideas sound great but will undoubtedly be hampered by the practical. The nice idea of the sink that allows for disposal and reuse options depending on the water waste condition will run into the reality that the uses are not often separable.  The waste and recyclable system sounds like it will incorporate the worst of government and corporate snooping.

The "table of living" seems to hold the most possibilities, including the extensive use of projection mapping. I think they get into a bit of the ridiculous, but who knows what future tech may allow?

The article makes some environmental assumptions that I don't see as definite events. Intense drought, paucity of resources, overpopulation, etc. The tight use of space might actually help in areas of dense population, but the whole thing somehow reminds me of Korben"s apartment in The Fifth Element. LeeLoo not included.
