The Chulha stove by [Philips Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/screeneo-ul5-smart) was winner of the Index Awards 2009 and was designed specifically for use in developing countries.

The minuscule stove allows users to cook traditional foods while greatly reducing the [amount of fuel required](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodburning-appliance) and health risks associated with [inhaling fumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taiwan-sakura). The Chulha stove also traps the remaining smoke and releases it through the built-in chimney.

Philips Design’s focus for the Chulha stove was India, but countries in Africa and Latin America will also get great use out of this innovative stove.
