Part of the 1:1 scale prototype of the Elektra-Technovision, the world's first "fully-automated" kitchen, originally showcased at Foire de Paris (Paris Fair) in 1970, designed by Hasso Gehrmann (1924–2008) for Elektra Bregenz/Austria. The glass cylinder of the hot air grill could be lowered after use into the dishwasher below for cleaning. On the left is Signe Gehrmann (1926–2016). Photo courtesy of Lucas Gehrmann, Vienna/Austria
