You know how you’re always burning toast? In fact, it’s still early, and you’re probably burning some right now.
This Bamboo and Glass Toaster, by designer James Stumpf, is not only made from sustainable glass and bamboo — but the window helps you keep an eye on your bread.
The toaster is a concept for Stumpf’s series of sustainable kitchen appliances, which also includes a bamboo kitchen mixer and blender.

If you’re not sure whether you’ll be serving a red wine or a white wine, you could just have an appropriate glass available for each. But that sounds like a lot of work.
The Doublet is an ingenious way to save you some trouble, by providing a compartment for both reds and whites. Even an official oenophile or self-proclaimed wine snob could appreciate the convenience.
The design is currently only a concept. So, in the meantime, have all of your glasses at the ready for when the wine snobs come over.

Because we need this, the Square Egg is a concept by British designer Dominic Wilcox. Showing almost no concern for the poor hen that would have to lay this, Wilcox presented the idea at The Contemporary and Modern Art Museum of Trento and Rovereto in Italy.
The “Genetically Modified Egg Cup” was meant to be a commentary on the positive and negative effects of genetically modified foods — usually created for nothing more than our own convenience. And, don’t worry, Wilcox has thought of those rolling peas too.

Sure, the Hue Smart Toaster can’t give you a weather report, and isn’t Domo — but it will allow you to toast your bread to the color of your liking. So, instead of your current toaster’s settings of ‘barely toasted’, ‘pre-burnt’, and ‘burnt’ — once you find your toast color of choice, Hue will get it right every time.
Unfortunately, for you and your toast, Hue is still only in concept phase. So, you’ll just have to keep leaving your toaster on ‘4’ and hope for the best.

Jamy, a toaster concept, is designed to print your morning forecast on your toast. Created by designer Nathan Brunstein, the smart toaster is equipped with a built-in barometer and thermometer — that will help those who prefer their weather report in the morning, and hate looking out the window.
However, since your new weather predictor is a toaster, expect the occasional forecast of ‘burnt.’
