We love our kitchens of the future; here is another from a 1957 "Paris Exhibition of the future" in Czech with hilarious english subtitles. It has an IBM punch card recipe file, automatic dispensing and online TV ordering. Once it got to the glass domed oven scene, it was recognizable as Frigidaire's Dream Kitchen of Tomorrow, from 1957, shown below the fold; we have some better shots and film of it. ::io9 via ::boingboing
You can see another film of this kitchen in color, complete with dancing crazy lady, at 3:20 of this completely hallucinatory 1956 GM promo movie on ::youtube here

With this lazy susan glass fridge, you will never lose the condiments at the back. What a good idea.
Dance while you watch it in this collage of dream kitchens set to music, at about 3 minutes. Via EasterKiwi



















The first video isn't a video, and the second two are no longer available.
LA: I have fixed the first one and the second two work fine for me!
