This foot-powered food processor has numerous things going for it. As you will have noticed, it’s incredibly stylish—and small. It’s also eco-friendly, thigh-friendly and perfect for small kitchens. It’s just a shame it’s a concept.

Designed by German Christoph Thetard, it has various attachments that can be powered by pushing the pedal with a foot—including a coffee grinder and blender. Just pushing the pedal at 400rpm is enough to generate 350 watts a minute, which is enough for simple food preparation. But can it prepare a Thanksgiving feast? [Christoph Thetard via Fastco]
