"Food as design" was one of the big trends spotted at Milan Design Week last month and, sure enough, very- busy furniture retailer Ikea dedicated a whole exhibit to Concept Kitchen 2025 , a deep exploration of how the kitchen will change in the next decade. The project, a collaboration with design innovation firm Ideo and students from Lund University and the Eindhoven University of Technology, stems from a set of basic assumptions about the world in 2025, e.g. "Our homes will become physically smaller," "'Shopping' will mean 'home delivery'."
