Never again will we have to wash our own dishes, chop up our own veggies, or set a cooking timer. But we may not have to wait until the world resembles The Jetsons to free ourselves from toiling in the kitchen, thanks to a new concept called the Tree of Life.

Replacing the refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, and even the cook, the Tree of Life is the brainchild of Bulgarian designer Zahari Ganchev. From his desk at Bulgaria's National Academy of Art, Ganchev can see a world that wants all the fun of cooking with none of the work. That's why he's designed the Tree of Life to be controlled from your tablet. Seated on the couch, you can design meals right down to how you want the potatoes cut and what spices you want to add to your broth.
