IKEA’s future kitchen tells you how to cook

IKEA's smart table in Concept Kitchen 2025

For IKEA, your future kitchen shouldn’t just have the occasional smart appliance — it should be a technology hub. The furniture store’s Concept Kitchen 2025 includes tech and other helpful additions meant to save both time and resources, such a pantry with induction cooling (to preserve food longer) and a disposal system that automatically packs your recyclables. The highlight, however, is the Table For Living. It packs a camera-equipped projector that both shows recipes on its surface and recognizes ingredients, giving you an idea of what to make with what you have on hand. There’s an induction cooktop hidden in the table, too, so you wouldn’t have to run between counters to get that hot stew ready. This is just a vision rather than something you can actually buy, but all of IKEA’s technology is realistic enough that you could find some of it in your home within the next decade.
