Chicago based industrial designer Michaël Harboun has his distinct idea of the future. He sees it in the implementation of so called ‘programable matter,’ a material comprised of micro robots capable to communicate with each other and change shape and function of any object.
Through his Living Kitchen concept designer attempted to explore how people would interact within this form follows flow environment. The volumes could be stretched, twisted and bend by the user. And as far as technology goes, a material of this kind is currently being researched by Intel and the Carnegie Mellon University under the name of Claytronics. So, the future might be closer than we think.
