New tech means you’ll never miss out on an auction again.

The Jetsons 2016-style: The future of household design is astounding

If you’re one of those people who enjoys keeping at the forefront of design, boy, is this article for you!

Here’s four remarkable domestic designs just hitting the market that deliver a glimpse of our technological future.

If these are anything to go by, the future is looking very exciting indeed. But when do I get my flying car?

The 1limit Transparent

Tap Beautiful and ecologically sensitive, this tap is an amazing way to conserve water consumption. The transparent tube holds exactly 1litre, so you can gauge exactly how much water you’re using to wash your hands. After you’ve used your allotted 1 litre, you’ll have to turn the tap off so that it can fill up before you can use it again. Ingenious?  

The Swiss Army Kitchen

This green modular island kitchen is designed by Massimo Facchinetti to conserve space and energy. It’s powered by solar panels and sink water is filtered and reused in the dishwasher. It includes a cooking range, microwave, space to store your coffee machine and a nifty vertical herbal garden.  

HD Television

Move over HD, Ultra HD TV has arrived. The world’s largest television – the Samsung S9 – uses technology that delivers four times the picture quality than regular HD televisions. But it comes at a price – this 85-inch giant costs a cool $40,000. But the picture is apparently as clear as looking through a window.   

Z Kitchen Island

Originally designed for renowned architect Zaha Hadid, the undisputed queen of curves, this futuristic prototype features a touchscreen control panel, heating membranes, sound activators, aromatic scent dispensers, LED lights and a multimedia entertainment system that comes with a flat screen TV and an integrated Apple mac mini.  

Flexible Smartphone

Representing a new generation of smartphones, Samsung’s Youm is the world’s first bendable mobile device. It’s made possible by using ground-breaking flexible OLEDs that are almost indestructible. Let’s hope it has the ability to remind you to put it in your pocket because this baby looks particularly easy to leave behind.   

If you’re thinking about going high tech at home or even a traditional renovation with power saving lighting, modern smart appliances and solar power?  Give me a call to arrange to roll these purchases into your existing loan.
