The Swedish appliance maker Electrolux created this kitchen, called the 'Heart of the Home,' to bring future concepts of cuisine to light, such as [intelligent digital and touch screen capabilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-holodisplay) and [interchangeable cooking surfaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-cube-cooking-system) that adapt to users' needs. It might sound too good to be true, and you're right. Apparently, the Electrolux concept kitchen cannot be made with the materials that exist today. Rather, according to the company, extrapolations of current technology will be required to turn the concept into a reality. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Appliance-free Kitchens:** With innovative technology, kitchen tools and appliances become obsolete. - **Intelligent Cooking Surfaces:** Touch screen and interchangeable cooktops adapt to users' personal needs and preferences. - **Future Cuisine Concepts:** Expand the limits of imagination for kitchen design, efficiency, and sustainability. ### Where This Applies - **Kitchen Design:** Innovative technologies and concepts pave the way for disruptive changes in kitchen design and remodeling. - **Home Appliances:** Redefining traditional kitchen appliances with cutting-edge digital and interactive features. - **Sustainability:** Sustainable materials, energy efficiency, and waste reduction become integral parts of the kitchen design and usage. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Freestanding Experimental Kitchens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-kitchens.md) - [Ai-Powered Recipe-Generating Appliance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kitchen-cosmo.md) - [Sleek Integrated Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/integrated-kitchen-appliance.md) - [Compact Kitchen Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bake-ultra.md) - [Contemporary Smart Cooker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ods.md) - [Telescoping Component Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-kitchen-aid.md) - [Multi-Functional Cook Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-cooking-appliance.md) - [Modular Multifunctional Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pronto-and-alto.md) - [Futuristic Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-on2cook.md)
