Ikea Temporary Kitchen at the Expo Mila in Milan is the result of a project with a variety of designs, of which a few outstanding examples were included in the Temporary Kitchen.
One of these is what looks like an ordinary, somewhat rustic, table that in 2025 will supposedly be the focus of cooking, eating, work, play, and socializing, yet works to make people more creative while cutting down on waste.
The wooden shelves contain hidden sensors and smart induction cooling technology while perishable foods are immediately visible, which promotes their use instead of being forgotten at the back of the fridge.
Food is stored in double-walled transparent containers with RFID tags indicating the temperature they should be stored at.
The induction cooling units use magnetic, stainless steel-gadolinium alloy bases in the shelves to keep the containers at the proper temperature.
The same containers can be used for heating on the table. There's also low-tech terracotta containers for foods like garlic, potatoes, and carrots.
