Imagine if we can cook without using pots and pans, no need to read a recipe book or do not have to worry about the freshness of food. Through the Heart of Home, the Swedish electronics company seeks ideas for a future that blends the kitchen counter and stove in one unit.

‘Heart of the Home’ is a clever cook table that can adjust the shape according to the needs of cooking. Only by placing the food on the stove, ‘Heart of the Home’ will analyze the material and featuring a variety of recipes to suit the material. After selecting the desired recipe, the user can adjust the cooking area is desirable simply by touching the tabletop. While the depth can be adjusted by pressing the soft surface of the table as needed. In addition, touching the surface of the table can also be done to establish the time and temperature required when cooking.

In The explanation, Thursday (25/3/2010), Jane Ritonga, Product Marketing Manager Fabric say, ‘Heartof The Home tries to anticipate the possibility of an explosion in urban population.

“It is estimated that by 2050, 74 percent of the world’s population will live in urban,” said Jane.

Therefore, continued Jane, Electrolux developed the Heart of Home as an illustration of what will face the public in 2050. “We need a home that is minimalist. With limited space in major cities in the future, the house should be more flexible and can be adapted to various situations. So also with household appliances. There will be no room left for equipment that has only one function,” said Jane.

Added Jane, technological sophistication is a need to continue to grow both in environmental and social issues. “We can not survive without technology. The technology is extremely important today, but in 2050 we can not live without technology,” said Jane.
