The future is here, and it's in your kitchen! Electrolux, best known for its fridge freezers and washing machines, has come up with a fabulous concept that brings household appliances to life.
The hydrosphere is a small self-efficient green house that manages to be a light fixture and science lab all in one. The glass orb contains mineral enriched solutions instead of soil, and the central lamp functions as a gentle heater as well as providing light for your home. Within it you can grow herbs and even small fruits and veggies, making sure you always have some fresh greenery on hand for your healthy lifestyle. [Via Inhabitat]
The Electrolux Design Lab is an annual competition that challenges design students to find innovative solutions for consumer products. The theme of this year's competition was focused on food preservation and preparation, encouraging designs that promote healthy lifestyles through healthy eating habits
This is an interesting concept. They should make larger ones.
