Tree + Eat = Treat

Treat is a seamless way of storing and managing the leftover food. It employs classic food storage techniques like vacuum sealing and modern remote mobile technology to ensure your food is always consumed fresh. The appliance has a clever and intuitive way of communicating its warning when the food is expiring. It changes its color as the food ages (like the ripening of a fruit!) and then drops down to the carpet below. This happens when the food stored is a lost cause and is completely expired. Access to the Treat with a mobile app is possible. It allows you to preheat your meal with remote settings. Very clever!

The Treat is a 2012 Electrolux Design Lab top ten finalist entry.
