James Stumpf recently designed a beautiful bamboo toaster that is both functional and decorative at the same time. When it comes to kitchen appliances, utility is often valued above aesthetics. However, this toaster features an eye-catching design that is worth displaying on any kitchen counter.
The bamboo toaster is a unique appliance made from a combination of glass and wood. The toaster itself features glass panels that are embedded with heat element stripes. These glass panels are contained within a bamboo shell, which gives the toaster a sleek and polished exterior. Aside from being aesthetically appealing, the toaster is also designed for functionality. The transparent panels let users see the toast as it is browning, which allows for precise toasting.
Unfortunately the toaster is just a concept, meaning consumers will have to settle for traditional kitchen appliances for now.
