Portable Culinary Cooktops

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Mobile Kitchen Helps to Feed Frequent Apartment Hoppers

— September 30, 2014 — Art & Design
Designed especially for tiny Asian apartments that don't always integrate the necessary domestic equipment, the Mobile Kitchen is a stovetop that can be conveniently used in even the smallest spaces, and moved as it's required. Where food preparation space is limited and a nomadic urban lifestyle is lead, this concept culinary contraption would be ideal for going where you go.

Wen-Liang Huang, Lan-Lan Lin, Biao Guo, Li-Hua Tan and Jing-Wen Huang devised a two-element system that enables the cook to make at least a pair of dishes at once. The hotplate can be placed on any surface and even integrates the means to self-ventilate. The Mobile Kitchen's two curved arms can be hinged up and over your pots and pans, fanning the steam that rises.
Trend Themes
1. Mobile Kitchen Appliances - Opportunity for companies to create portable cooking devices that can be used in small spaces and easily moved.
2. Compact and Versatile Cooktops - Potential for innovative cooktop designs that can fit in limited kitchen spaces and offer multi-functionality.
3. Nomadic Lifestyle Solutions - Demand for products and services that cater to the needs of individuals with a mobile and urban lifestyle.
Industry Implications
1. Appliance Manufacturing - Companies producing portable cooktops have the chance to tap into a niche market and meet the needs of small space dwellers.
2. Kitchen Design and Furnishing - Opportunity for kitchen designers to create compact and efficient layouts to accommodate portable culinary cooktops.
3. Urban Mobility Solutions - Industry that can provide innovative transportation or storage solutions for individuals with a nomadic lifestyle and limited living space.
