Bring the future to your kitchen with these colorful, space-age-y appliances

Kalorik (one of Europe’s first manufacturers of small electric appliances) began producing electric toasters in Belgium in the 1930s. Today, they’re apparently producing appliances from the mother fucking future! I just stumbled upon these awesome-looking home goods on Amazon, and was all “zomg what are these kitchen space pods!?”

I’ve found goth rugs, rugs made from rags, rugs for nerds, punk rock rugs, a rug with a time travel theme, and even something called a Pop Art Jazz Rug.
