Henrik Otto, Senior Vice President of Design at Electrolux presented an exciting new kitchen concept Friday 12 Feb 2010 at the Swedish Museum of Architecture in Stockholm.
Imagine never having to use pans or pots again, never having to worry whether the ingredients are fresh or never having to look up a recipe in a cook book.
