Hitachi makes some pretty interesting refrigerators.
Their R-X6000 Model claims to have the world’s first vacuum compartments and power assisted drawers. It also has a quick freeze drawer, mold-proof door gasket, nano titanium filter, variable size ice maker with automatic cleaning and an automatic door closer.
In their latest model, the R-Y6000, Hitachi unveils new technology to spray your food with Antioxidant Vitamins to help preserve freshness and combat odors. Apparently Vitamin C helps meat keep it’s color longer and also slows down nutrient loss in vegetables and fish.
I might trust it to extend the life of fruit and vegetables but I personally wouldn’t take any chances with meat.
Axolute, an Italian company dedicated to creating innovative bathroom products, has created quite a buzz for itself with the showing of their patented Horizontal Integrated Siphon (HIS) at Salone de Mobile and FuoriSalone.
A tiny slot under the front rim of the sink allows water to drain (hoizontally) under the basin into a pipe in the wall.
These incredible sinks come in Stainless Steel, enameled steel or colored Corian versions.
Since no unsightly drains are below these sinks they are also ideal for bathrooms required to meet ADA guidelines.
