Capsule che ospitano energia per la cucina e piante aromatiche, piani di lavoro autosufficienti: i designer si stanno occupando di rendere le nostre cucine degli spazi che si alimentano con energia ecologica e che diventino delle zone che interagiscono con i nostri bisogni quotidiani.

Stillebacher e Dejaco in Austria hanno creato Loop , una capsula che interagisce con la cucina. I due designer descrivono con questo slogan: "Nutrire la mia cucina - La mia cucina feed me, "a soft white shell design accommodating aromatic plants, a sitting area, and will produce energy for your appliances and your kitchen.

Loop, in fact, has been designed to exploit a system of recycling; you need the "feed" because it feeds on organic waste in your kitchen, moving in a processor inside the body, where they decompose, are then converted into biogas that will serve to "feed" you, as you will cook and another part of the biogas instead will be converted into electricity that can power your household appliances. Practically Loop will be a kind of power plant for your kitchen.

Loop is also designed so you can stay and grow a mini garden in your kitchen, you will be able to have vegetables and herbs, and a sink where water can be reused to water your plants ...

this capsule also houses an ergonomic seat that is heated through a membrane, and in winter you can sit back and unwind in this relaxing corner to enjoy a little 'healthy heat.
One 'Other cuisine that uses a system of recycling is the Ekokook Faltazi French study.

Ekokook è una cucina pensata come autosufficiente, fornita di dispositivi a risparmio energetico, è organizzata in vari compartimenti dove vengono differenziati i vari rifiuti e riciclati. Su ogni pannello vi è un disegno del tipo di materiale che dovrà essere riciclato; la carta viene distrutta e resa compatta in piccoli mattoni, l'acqua per lavare i piatti viene filtrata e riutilizzata per innaffiare le piante del giardino, il vetro viene raccolto nel compartimento inferiore, un altro settore serve alla conservazione delle verdure fresche, i rifiuti organici, invece, vengono decomposti in concime dagli stessi animaletti che nascono dagli scarti.


Ekokook also has a refrigerator that is equipped with watertight compartments, which optimize the energy efficiency of the appliance.
Ekokook is a new eco-friendly concept, a way of thinking differently the kitchen, instead of accumulating waste, discards them and reuses them.

Flow2 study Gorm is able to create its own life cycle continues, consists of various systems, such as the dish rack that recycles the water cooler instead of a refrigerator that can to preserve foods that do not need very cold temperatures, types of earthenware used to keep food fresh and dry, a compost bin where organic waste is processed and made fertilizer. Flow2 is basically a food label and at the same time very practical, saves space and provides a different way to think about recycling.



Finally we can say that ecology is becoming part of our everyday life, even a simple "cooking" can become a way to cooperate with nature, are increasingly figuring and creating space efficient and environmentally friendly at the same time, an innovative way to live better.
