This sleek built-in oven features an interface panel that doubles up as a hidden handle

Posted on by

If you love cooking but can never find enough time for it, or you’re completely terrified of cooking but you need to start, and don’t know where to start – then you’ve reached the right place. The first step towards having a streamlined and efficient cooking experience is to have an arsenal of functional kitchen appliances by your side. With the right kitchen tools and appliances, cooking can be a fun and effortless process. The right products can reduce your prep time in half, make the little cooking tasks much easier, and help you with tedious and complicated techniques. And one such product we recently encountered is the HIDE oven.

Designer: Alperen Çağdaş

The HIDE is a sleek and clean-looking built-in oven with a sneaky movable interface panel, and concealed handles. Now, what does that mean exactly? Recently, automatic doors have become quite popular in ovens. These kinds of ovens are great, because they seamlessly merge with your kitchen space, providing a beautifully streamlined look. They usually have a touch button to open them, and the whole handleless experience can feel pretty cool. However, if you’re an old-school person who prefers a more hands-on experience while cooking – then you may have a soft spot for solid old ovens with a handle. Handles are also a better option in terms of safety. And, the HIDE oven perfectly integrates both!

HIDE provides both a handle, as well as an automatic option to open the oven door. The interesting part is that the touch panel of the appliance functions as its handle as well! The intuitive panel is almost invisible (hence the name HIDE) until you touch it and begin to operate it. When you’re done adjusting the settings of the oven, you can use the panel to open or shut the oven door. This jet black panel can move in two directions – so you can pick a position that suits you and open the oven with ease.

The hidden handle creates an element of mystery in the appliance. It’s almost fun to simply open or shut the oven door, and of course, if you’re in a bit of a hurry, you can always go for the automatic option, and operate the oven door without the handle! Currently, HIDE is still a concept, however, we look forward to such an innovative and futuristic appliance hopefully hitting the market soon…

This front-load washing machine’s door slides inwards to save space in small homes

Posted on by

I’m not entirely sure if washing machine execs have noticed but most homes don’t really have massive laundry rooms. Unless you’re in a bungalow with a sprawling basement, chances are your laundry room is pretty tiny, and doesn’t offer enough extra space after you put in your machine, hamper, and ironing board. The Hide washing machine is pretty mindful of that fact and does something that’s simple yet so incredibly user-centric, it could easily be a great stand-out feature for machines in its category.

The Hide Washing Machine, as its name suggests, features a hiding door that helps it occupy a little less space when in use. In the event that your washing machine’s door ends up blocking a pathway if opened, or colliding with a pillar/wall/door, the Hide allows you to simply circumvent that problem by tucking the door right into the machine’s body. This results in a marginally wider machine, but here’s where user behavior comes into play… people usually buy machines after comparing measurements with their laundry rooms, but they don’t always account for the washing machine’s door and how it opens. The Hide’s door opens like any normal one, but then immediately slides into itself, freeing up your passageway so you can walk around and go about your laundry.

The Hide comes in an absolutely delightful dark matte metallic finish that allows it to, once again, hide away in your small laundry room (or service balcony in Asian households). Its seductively stealthy appearance is well complemented by a minimal black and white UI on the top of the machine, and the Hide even comes with an app that lets you program and activate features remotely, because there’s no such thing as TOO MANY great features, now is there?

Birdhouse Key Hider

 

Running out of rocks and welcome mats and garden gnomes to stuff your keys under? Maybe it’s time to find a completely different hiding place that most people won’t even think of looking, like somewhere overhead, for example. You can do exactly this with this Hide-a-Key Birdhouse, which is exactly what it’s name implies it is.

It’s an actual birdhouse that has a discrete magnetic trap door underneath where you can hang your keys. So you get to give birds shelter from the elements while hiding your keys in a place where most burglars won’t really think to look at (unless they’ve read this post and recognize that the same birdhouse is hanging in your garden or porch, that is.) Now isn’t that nice?

The Hide-a-Key Birdhouse retails for $20.
