An entire kitchen that is eco-friendly...

Let's hope with the Whirlpool name it gets beyond the concept phase!

But I do have to wonder...did they check out John Arndt's Flow and put their own spin on it?

Here's the description of Flow from John's website:

FLOW, 2006-2007

flow and the kitchen of terrestrial mechanics was developed for my masters thesis project at the Design Academy Eindhoven in the NL.  Modern kitchens tend to be wasteful of valuable resources.  I worked on developing a kitchen which uses nature as a model.  I developed several relatively simple products which act as vehicles for the natural processes to do the work.  These symbiotic products work together creating an effective living system which helps to perform basic tasks in the kitchen.

And here are two images:

Wow, that kitchen looks amazing!  I wish my fridge had drawers.  I always feel so terrible when I open the door just to grab an apple, or whatever I'm in there for.  All the cold air leaks out!  And I'd love to have more plants in my kitchen.  We live in an apartment, so we don't have a nice garden.  Though, I'd probably do something wrong and the plants would die.  I have black thumbs!

But thanks for sharing the link!  Gosh, it's so interesting!  I want one! lol!
