# Sci-Fi Kitchen Appliances Bruno Oro's Futuristic Plan for a Food Replicator By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-07-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-replicator References: [gajitz](http://gajitz.com/serving-the-future-replicate-grandmas-cooking-at-home/) & [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/06/22/replicator-of-foods/) Designer Bruno Oro has come up a futuristic plan for a food replicator he calls 'Home Sweet Home.' It would transmit the building blocks that comprise food by copying them from the original dish to a plate in your kitchen. It’s not a transporter, but it’s a little like a pantograph for food because it copies and duplicates. The food replicator is placed above the food to be copied. It then scans and identifies all of the [food components, molecule by molecule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermomix-tm7). A receiver in another location generates the same combination of molecules to replicate the source meal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Food Replication:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating advanced food replicators that can transmit, copy, and duplicate the building blocks of food. - **Advanced Scanning Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing high-resolution scanning technology capable of identifying food components molecule by molecule. - **Remote Food Generation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing remote food generation systems that can replicate a source meal in another location. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Kitchen Appliance:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the kitchen appliance industry to create futuristic appliances capable of food replication and advanced scanning technology. - **Food Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the food technology industry to develop advanced methods for transmitting and duplicating the building blocks of food. - **Transportation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the transportation industry to explore technologies that can transport replicated meals from one location to another. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ai-Powered Recipe-Generating Appliance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kitchen-cosmo.md) - [AI-Powered Recipe Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-cosmo.md) - [Automated Cooking Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nosh-robot-cooker.md) - [Futuristic Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-on2cook.md) - [All-in-One Meal Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chefrobot.md) - [AI-Generated Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaudiinspired.md) - [Light-Powered Countertop Cookers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-countertop-oven.md) - [Modular Multifunctional Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pronto-and-alto.md) - [Automated Kitchen Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circusos.md)
