# Shape-Shifting Kitchens The Electrolux H20 Concept Can Transform on a Whim By Michael Hines | Published 2011-03-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electrolux-h20 References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/futuristic-morphosis-kitchen-for-2099/) & [vardai-design.hu](http://www.vardai-design.hu/) Péter Várdai has created perhaps the most [futuristic kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ods) ever in the Electrolux H20. The Electrolux H20 is a [kitchen designed to change its shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circusos) based upon the whims of its owner. The Electrolux H20 can be made to change into a variety of different forms thanks to its claytronic atoms. Once the atoms receive a signal to change shape, they get to work, quickly and easily altering the structure of the Electrolux H20 until it reaches it desired state. The Electrolux H20 has also been designed to [grow small vegetables and herbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-greenhouse-is-your-kitchen), making the home greener and a need for planters nonexistent. I love what Várdai is trying to do here, but it definitely seems a little ahead of its time. I guess it's a good thing that Várdai designed the Electrolux H20 with the year 2099 in mind. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 - **Shape-shifting Kitchens:** The Electrolux H20 concept represents a disruptive innovation opportunity to revolutionize the kitchen industry with its ability to change shape based on owner preferences. - **Claytronic Atoms:** The use of claytronic atoms in the Electrolux H20 presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for material science and manufacturing industries to create shape-shifting products. - **Smart, Green Homes:** The integration of small vegetable and herb growth in the Electrolux H20 creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for the smart home industry to enhance sustainability and eliminate the need for external planters. ### Where This Applies - **Kitchen Appliances:** The shape-shifting capabilities of the Electrolux H20 present a disruptive innovation opportunity for the kitchen appliance industry to create customizable and adaptable products. - **Material Science:** The use of claytronic atoms in the Electrolux H20 creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for the material science industry to develop shape-shifting materials for various applications. - **Smart Home Technology:** The integration of plant growth in the Electrolux H20 presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the smart home technology industry to incorporate sustainable and self-contained gardening solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ai-Powered Recipe-Generating Appliance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kitchen-cosmo.md) - [Micro-Living Kitchen Appliance Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-appliance-hub.md) - [Telescoping Component Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-kitchen-aid.md) - [Space-Conscious Kitchen Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-kitchen-design.md) - [Modular Multifunctional Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pronto-and-alto.md) - [Outdoor Carbon-Free Cooking Kitchens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transspecies-kitchen.md) - [Projected Kitchen Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-holodisplay.md) - [Tech-Informed Modular Kitchens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rekook.md) - [Revolutionary Cooking System Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-cube-cooking-system.md)
