V-Line Toaster and Induction Cooker Makes a High-Tech Breakfast
Posted by Sean Fallon at 7:50 AM on July 31, 2008
It kind of looks like a laptop if you ask me, but the V-Line toaster concept from designer Thibault Masclet is actually a toaster and an induction cooker all-in-one. It incorporates glass like other toaster concepts, but the induction cooker on the flipside is a new one on me. To be honest, I would prefer a griddle, but if you have something in a pot that needs heating or you simply want to keep your toast warm—it could come in quite handy. Whether it will ever become a real world product remains to be seen. [TrendsNow via The Design Blog]

Induction does not work that way! Unless the toast happens to be made of metal the cooker would have trouble keeping it warm.

V-Line?
Regional Victoria Rail lines! Or is that V/Line?

The glass toaster is cool, but I have no need for a stand-alone burner just for breakfast. Not that I could afford any of this...

Is there some freshman industrial design class out there that is just forcing these imbeciles to crank out concept toasters?
I think I could probably start a site covering nothing but ridiculous would-never-work designs for toasters and have more than enough to keep me busy.
