The newly announced Infinity I-Kitchen from Electrolux is no ordinary refrigerator as its both a design and tech marvel. Running on Linux, the web-enabled refrigerator features a touchscreen-enabled ARM so that one can have access to apps like notes, calendar, contacts, reminders, photos, recipes and much more. The highlight of the refrigerator is its sleek futuristic design and the fridge also features a touch display with a resolution of 480×800.
Says Electrolux:
"The Notes application avoids spreading the famous Post-it notes throughout the refrigerator all the while taking its functionality to a new level, marking messages as unread, reminding you of birthdays and appointments. Through Photos it's possible to use your refrigerator as a digital photo frame and Recipes brings more than 600 recipes published by a famous Brazilian magazine."

Chances are that at least a few of your friends and/or family members currently operate some sort of iPod or iPhone and thus considering an iPhone/iPod dock as a gift idea sounds only logical. Koostik is one of the docks you should consider this holiday season. Made of wood, the dock will cost you $85-$90 depending on the type of wood you choose: cherry, walnut, maple, and any combination of these three flavors are available. The Koostik measures 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 2 inches and it will surely enhance your whole music experience. Not to mention that it will fit well with any furniture design ideas and particularly with homes where wood finishes dominate the whole interior design concept. Via Koostick

We're living through some harsher economic times and even home appliances have it tough. In order to survive day-to-day life they're forced to get second jobs and make sacrifices. But seriously speaking, the Delicious Wave Microwave Oven will not only work as a regular microwave during the day but it also help you illuminate your kitchen and/or dining area. The Delicious Wave Microwave Oven will make popcorn now or keep food warm for yoy, only to act as a handy lamp thereafter, so you would probably use it around the clock. The concept is very interesting so we can only hope it will be picked up by Electrolux later down the road. We also hope that the Delicious Wave Microwave Oven will use microwaves only when heating up our next meal and not when bringing some light to our kitchen. Via Yanko Design

Its no secret that I am a big fan of Bugatti Home Appliances and have covered them in the past. While the Bugatti Kettle is my all time favorite, the Bugatti Vela Blender comes a close second. Like all Bugatti products, this one too is the perfect amalgamation of form and function and seeks to provide an almost multi-sensory experience to its user. Made from 18/10 stainless steel, the Casa Bugatti Vela blender features a unique conical shape which not only looks good but also helps in blending more smoothly. The blender can blend up to 1.5 Liters at the time, features a 3-speed setting & high-pulse function and also includes a solid heavy glass carafe with measuring indicators. You can order the Bugatti Vela Blender from here and its available in a number of eye-catching colors.

Air humidifiers are a necessity more than a luxury in this dust infested world we are dwelling in. While I am not denying their usefulness, its their less than inspiring form factor that stops me from buying it. However the beautiful Mast Humidifier may just temp me to take the plunge since its an ideal amalgamation of form and function. Designed by Shin Okada and crafted by Masuya Koubou, the humidifier doesn't require electricity and is made from thinly sliced pure Hinoki aka Japanese Cypress wood. Known for being rot resistant and emitting unique lemony scent, the wood absorbs the water which is placed in the bottom of the bowl and diffuses it into the air sans any electricity or noise! Told you its perfect. The Mast Humidifier can be ordered from Gizmine for $119.99.

We showed you plenty of home appliances so far, including various washing machines concepts but they were not like this one. This modern washing machine concept is made for the busy professional that requires utmost efficiency. The washing machine will be installed right inside your closet and that's where you will deposit your dirty shirts in the evening only to find them clean and fresh waiting for you in the morning. The washing machine uses humidity, ionization, ozone and air pressure to do away with all the dirt and thus you'll have clean clothes to wear right from your closet, without you having to drop off and pick up dry cleaning on your way to and from work. The question is, what happens with all the dirt and bacteria that get removed from your clothes? Via Yanko Design
