Cook Top Vesta for the Small, Tight, and Cramped
Matthias Pinkert must have had me in mind when he designed the Cook Top Vesta, one of this year’s entries in the Electrolux design competition. For people constantly on the go, living in apartments where kitchen, living, closet, and sleeping all seem to blend into one. The Cook Top Vesta is a fold down cooking surface. Flip the top up when not in use to access a prep surface. It’ll also read RFID enabled food packaging to a certain proper cook times and even suggest recipes, if say all you got is a box of dry rotini pasta.
Designer: Matthias Pinkert

ummmm dont the heater kinda cook the surface of the countertop too…it might work with induction. All these “space savers” never seem to consider you need pots, pans, forks, spoons, kives and the like to cook on them (except that little roll away office jobber).

I think this is actually a good implementation of the induction technology with an elegant design. A nice feature would be to have an additional flip-up rangehood mounted above the cooktop, forming a nice, sleek rectangular surface on the wall while not in use.

A new wacom?

Decent idea, impractical execution. The benchtop will be heated and as such, likely destroyed. Induction would be the worst, it requires ventilation beneath the cooktop as well as a dedicated power circuit.

I have a fold down cook top circa 1956. In over fifty years my home has not burned down, and my counter tops are not charred. Induction would work great, and as far as a dedicated power source, most kitchens already have them. Plus, some of us with older homes might like to install an updated version of the fold down cooktop.
