Swedish Design Student Wins Electrolux Design Lab 2009 with His Concept CocoonRickard Hederstierna from Lund Institute of Technology in Sweden is the winner of the Electrolux Design Lab 2009 competition for inventing Cocoon.
The winner was announced at finals in London on September 24, at 100% Design London, the UK's leading architecture and design event.
"Cocoon" is a sustainable response to the world's growing population and its desire to consume meat and fish.
Similar to heating popcorn in a microwave, Cocoon prepares pre-packaged meat and fish dishes by heating muscle cells identified by radio frequency identification (RFID) signals.
The signals detect the specific dish and then suggest the required cooking time.
This process uses science to create food, lifting a burden on the planet by reducing the need for further intensive farming and fishing.
