Compact Folding Microwaves

The Wall-Mountable Kitchen Microwave Saves Space in Small Areas

The Wall-Mountable Kitchen Microwave is intended to be a versatile piece of equipment that can help to effectively make cooking spaces more ergonomic. Featuring a design that is intended to be mounted on the wall, the microwave folds up when not in use. When it's needed, the microwave simply folds down to reveal ample space for placing a variety of items within for heating or cooking.

The Wall-Mountable Kitchen Microwave is the design work of Choi Yousong and identifies a rising need for compact home kitchen appliances. Being that the average size of the home is shrinking, traditional items that would be found in the space are being reimagined to be more compact and efficient to make use of all available space.
