1956: The British House of the Future

» The British House of the Future, circa 1956. "All electric power is drawn from a nearby atomic power station. [...] A short-wave transmitter with push buttons controls all electronic equipment. We’re sure you’ll be interested to know that the shower stall has jets of warm air for drying and the sunken bathtub rinses itself with detergent. No bathtub rings left for Mother." (via aaa)

A friend of mine, some years ago, told me about a "house of the future" article from the 50s that featured a kitchen with 3 knobs: hot, cold, and martini. (I seriously dig the rolling kitchen on this one!)
