Designer Ahmad Abedini endeavored to find a solution to the almost inevitable tendency for people to outfit their kitchens with mismatched appliances. The Kitchen Train is his response. It can be described a coalescent culinary contraption that serves up an array of different functions.
You probably noticed the presence of a microwave right away. Combined with a toaster, the invention offers two significant food prep staples. Within the amalgamated object, you might also be able to recognize a juicer, a kettle and what appears to be a hand vacuum, in addition to a couple of ambiguous-looking machines that fit in seamlessly with the sinuous shape of the countertop mass. The Kitchen Train streamlines the appearance and the placement of your gadgets to embody a locomotive-like shape.
