Retro Futuristic Toasters

The Tix Toaster Appliances Offer Nine Different Bread Cooking Settings

— January 6, 2016 — Art & Design
The Tix Toaster appliance is a contemporary take on a futuristic concept one might have imagined back in the early 70s with a distinct Jetsonian aesthetic. The toaster features a small structure, smooth edges and a colorful design as well as a slew of added features to make cooking bread in the morning a whimsical experience.

Unlike a conventional toaster that is rigid and rectangular in design, the Tix Toasters opt for a much more playful design that adds color to the kitchen. The appliances feature an aesthetic similar to a digital camera with the dial located at the centre of the toaster. The vintage structure is coupled with modern functions such as defrost as well as nine different toasting settings for all sorts of preferences.
Trend Themes
1. Retro-futuristic Kitchen Appliances - Opportunity for designing modern appliances with a nostalgic aesthetic to appeal to consumers who desire a mix of old and new.
2. Innovative Toaster Technology - Opportunity for developing toasters with advanced features to enhance the customer's toasting experience.
3. Playful Kitchen Appliance Design - Opportunity for creating kitchen appliances that prioritize both design and functionality to appeal to style-conscious customers.

3. Consumer Electronics - Potential for consumer electronics companies to expand beyond traditional electronic products by investing in modern retro-futuristic appliances with advanced technology features.
