Electrolux Rendez-Vous: the kitchen table becomes the table kitchen
“The key to this concept design is its “energy shield” top which would transmit power wirelessly to any electrical appliance, so there’s no need to plug in your blender, toaster, or your mobile phone. The top also integrates an inductive cooking system across its whole surface that uses sensors to detect where a pan is placed so that any part of the table can become a hot-plate.”
