Minimalist Kitchen Storage

Remote Control Island Top Hides Sink and Prep Area

Ernestomeda has taken kitchen technology one step further by automating the opening and closing of a kitchen worktop. Ernestomeda has solved the frustrating problem of storing an armload of bologna, mustard, bread, and sugar when the only open space is the top of the gas stove.

Now with the flick of a button, the top will rise from its storage space and quietly close to give the counter the sleek appearance of a classic convertible car.

Bonus feature: If your cat is in the way, sensors prevent Kitty from getting trapped.
