The Electrolux 'Jodana' is a modular cooktop designed with smaller living spaces in mind to prioritize ease of use as well as a multifunctional form. The modular cooker is capable of being positioned onto any different countertop design thanks to its adaptable aesthetic. The unit is great for cooking meals via induction heating, but is also capable of weigh ingredients or being paired with additional cooktop components to transform any countertop into an expansive cooking area.
The Electrolux 'Jodana' has been designed in collaboration with Yash Saboo, Niklas Muhs, Luisa Ebeling and Indalecio Gaytan of the Umeå Institute of Design. The adaptable design of the appliance system means it can be scaled up or down to accommodate different needs at different times.
