Designed by Asli Erkun, Marisa Totolo and Amund Ostbye Roed, the 'Sharepool' is a large appliance that [combines several different appliances into one](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freestanding-oven). It takes up about the same amount of space as a [mini-fridge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amity) does but functions as a cook top, microwave and a fridge simultaneously. The portable kitchen concept sits on four wheels so that it can be easily moved from one space to another. It is accompanied by an app that allows users to rent it and share it with one another. This compact kitchen would be the perfect space-saving appliance for people living in dormitories or micro-homes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Portable Appliances:** The 'Sharepool' portable kitchen concept combines multiple appliances into one, offering a space-saving solution for small living spaces. - **Mobile Kitchen Sharing:** The 'Sharepool' portable kitchen is accompanied by an app that enables users to rent and share it with others, fostering a new trend of mobile kitchen sharing. - **Compact Living Solutions:** The portable kitchen concept is ideal for dormitories and micro-homes, providing a compact and versatile solution for cooking and food storage. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Appliances:** The 'Sharepool' portable kitchen concept presents an opportunity for home appliance manufacturers to create innovative, all-in-one appliances for small living spaces. - **Sharing Economy:** The integration of an app for renting and sharing the portable kitchen concept opens doors for entrepreneurs to explore new opportunities in the sharing economy. - **Micro-housing:** The compact and space-saving nature of the portable kitchen concept aligns with the needs of the growing micro-housing industry, offering a disruptive solution for cooking and food storage in limited living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vehicular All-In-One Kitchens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allinone-kitchen.md) - [Tech-Informed Modular Kitchens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rekook.md) - [One-Person Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-cooking-appliance.md) - [Micro-Living Kitchen Appliance Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-appliance-hub.md) - [Gas-Powered Toaster Oven Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cook-nook.md) - [Collapsible Microwave Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-microwave.md) - [Compact Kitchen Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-kitchen-furniture.md) - [Freestanding Experimental Kitchens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-kitchens.md) - [Ai-Powered Recipe-Generating Appliance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kitchen-cosmo.md)
