Accordion-Inspired Kitchen Appliances

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Crisp Toaster Concept Folds to Free Up Counter Space

— March 28, 2012 — Lifestyle
Create a more functional kitchen with this clever Crisp Toaster Concept from 'Quirky.' If you're like most apartment-dwelling humans, you're constantly short of space. Between the culinary necessities, like a sink, oven and fridge, there usually isn't room for much else in a pint-sized kitchenette. Counter top appliances, such as traditional toasters, exacerbate the issue making even the simple act of slicing an apple a frustrating chore.

Thanks to the Crisp Toaster's innovative design, you can collapse the device's bread compartments for easy sleek storage. Capable of slimming down to a third of its size, the accordion-inspired appliance will help keep your culinary workspace clutter free. With the Crisp Toaster in your corner, you can enjoy your toast without sacrificing the little prep space you have.

Clever, functional and wonderfully modular, the Crisp Toaster will help keep your kitchen clutter-free.
