Look at this genius kitchen set up by Dutch designer John Arndt via design sprout. It uses the genius inner workings and complex yet simple systems in nature as a beautiful example of how to go about sustainable design. This marvelous piece of furniture was engineered to use the waste from one process to fuel the others. For example, the mini ecosystem design includes dishes that are always tidy, and get washed in place, and as they are rinsed they water the edible herbs underneath that are ready to spice up salads.
