It is called 3 Rms, Lk Vu by Michigan-based design firm Jruiter. It is a boat concept that takes your living home to water! Yet, it is not a houseboat one finds in tourist destinations across the world which make up for floating hotels. It is more personalized in nature. You can use it over a day for a picnic on a quite river. You could call it part apartment, or an outdoor living space for its features offer just that.
The pontoon boat houses a kitchen with dining space, a living room with seating, and a basking deck for sun-bathing or just chilling. You can relax and enjoy floating on the water with your family or friends, or move over to the floating kitchen for some quick cooking.

Sometimes we get a feeling that a fresh outlook is needed for the modern decor that is becoming just a wee bit boring nowadays. The same lines, the same patterns and even the same designs seem to reflect the stagnation that has come over the decor that once we all were so proud of owning. Thanks to designer Giuliano Giaroli, things might be looking up. He has gone on to create classy G-one white kitchens for the Italian company Schiffini.
The concept kitchen beautifully blends the basic kitchen ideal with the touch of the modern, but with a difference. The clean lines are very much there but with a spalsh of color thrown in that offers respite from an overdose of grays and whites. The vibrant orange thrown in gives the modern decor a new lease at life

Absolutely nothing tastes as good as grilled food. And that is the main reason why we reccommend the Kalamazoo Hybrid grill. Meant for the serious griller, this kitchen unit can grill both veggies as well as meat to the perfect smokey taste that we love so much with the help of a liquid propane system that runs on a mixture of charcoal, wood and gas.
The griller also comes with interchangeable grilling drawers to offer more culinary options and packs on a very cool 144,000 BTU’s of cooking power. But we were particularly impressed by the infrared rotisserie cradle system apart from the wok-ready side burner.

Frankly, we never really thought of giving time to ourselves to picture the dining table in the future. But not for Petr Kubik. The promising designer has conceptualised a futuristic edge to the mundane furniture unit that sits like a mammoth in most of our homes. The concept table seems to be inspired by the slightly fancy Gorenje’s smart table, but it does come with its own novelties.
Kubik’s dining table is equipped with a whole range of kitchen appliances and intelligent features like refrigerator, mini-dish washer, toaster, microwave and coffee maker to serve all your needs when you dine with your family.
