What do you think the future dining table will look like? Will it be something like the one featured here by designer Petr Kubik called the “future dining table”? The concept table looks like a fancy version of Gorenje’s smart table though this one comes fitted with a range of kitchen appliances and intelligent features including a refrigerator, mini-dish washer, toaster, micro-wave and coffee maker to provide access to whatever you need when dining with your family. The table features hidden compartments to store your food and appliances, and the OLED surface changes from opaque to transparent to reveal the refrigerated food underneath.
Drinks can be retrieved from the center core, and while you are enjoying your meal, you can browse for recipes or read the news off the tabletop that functions as a display. Loved the concept, but our all-time favorite still remains the multi-functional Dining Desk from Poggenpohl, and Alpina’s cooking table, that fits for both outdoor and indoor use.
