Now here is a rather weird looking portable hob that would find a place in any kitchen that hails from the future, thanks to the imagination of the designers over at Samsung. Known as the Samsung O table concept, this portable kitchen hob will come in multiple colors to suit just about any fancy, and in fact, it has also picked up an IF design award along the way, thanks to its dashing good looks. Granted, a kitchen appliance would definitely have a hard time making its way to our hallowed pages, but we will make an exception for the Samsung O table concept.
Samsung intends for the O table to be controlled via a ‘groove touch pad’, where you draw a circle on to control the thermal output of the hob – making cooking seem more and more like a game. I think that old school kitchen hands would find this to be rather disconcerting, and they would most probably prefer to stick to the tried-and-tested physical knobs. No idea on pricing, but this concept has already made its way into production, so it should be out soon.
