Freshness-Enhancing Meal Appliances

The Conceptual 'Mother’s Heart' Regulates Meal Temperature

The conceptual 'Mother’s Heart' kitchen appliance is a temperature-regulating solution for those who live in any part of the world to help them keep their favorite meal fresh and ready to eat. The unit is inspired by the traditional Sang bo, which is a food cover used in Korea to keep foods at the optimal temperature in warm environments and from cooling down in colder ones. The system is intended to be set to your choice of temperature to keep hot meals ready for eating and cold ones from warming up.

The conceptual 'Mother’s Heart' kitchen appliance is the design work of Yu Seojoung, and can be set for between one and six hours of use to accommodate longer mealtimes.
