Don't let the name fool you, the i Food Kitchen is in no way, shape or form a fancy-schmancy iDevice dock. At least, not yet. The i Food Kitchen is a conceptual kitchen designed by Chiara Danielle for the not-so-distant future.
The i Food Kitchen is a single unit containing every appliance you could possibly need. The kitchen is designed to be eco-friendly, with all of the appliances connected to the same grid to prevent power waste. The kitchen is also designed to be tech-savvy: The refrigerator has a touch screen installed on it, while the stove can digitally display updates about the dish being prepared on it such as the weight of the ingredients added.
The i Food Kitchen may be a little too futuristic for today's homes, but I wouldn't be surprised to see an all-in-one touchable kitchen become the norm. Unfortunately, we still seem to be a ways away from robotic dishwashers and chefs. Someday soon.
