Trebuchet Toaster launches bread across the room

Posted in Home by Conner Flynn on January 25th, 2009

Trebuchet Toaster flings your bread across the roomThis toaster is part of Ivo Vos’s ‘Brunch’ collection. It’s a toast catapult or trebuchet. One cool feature is that it lets you calibrate the force and angle of your toast’s trajectory. Presumably so that you can have a plate all set up in the right place. It’s one of many prototypes for kitchen equipment from the Dutch designer.

It’s all about precision. In fact, the project is intended to be a statement on perfection, precision, and order. But the important thing is this: This toaster launches your damn toast. And that’s awesome. I’m guessing we won’t see it come to market for awhile, which is a shame. Toasters were meant to function in such ways.

Or so cartoons have taught me. Now if we could somehow butter it in the air, before it hits the plate…

    Technically it is more of a slingshot but who really cares. It tosses toast, that’s awesome enough for me.

  4. OMG Says:

    cant butter it in the air it will land butter side down every time…but I still want one.

  5. LOL Says:

    what if you miscalculate the angle and while your watching your toast flying towards the plate, it hits you in the face?

  6. Brian Hickey Says:

    That is fantastic! I must have one of these!

  7. Tom Says:

    looks like its only big enough for 1 piece… awesome, but who only eats one piece of toast. fail.

  8. John Says:

    You could just shoot it through a butter waterfall, and that would solve all of your problems. Oh yeah and you would also have a butter waterfall! Also, in related news, I want this so bad.
