Remember how people used to think we'd be cooking on the moon by year 2000? AquaVelvet dug up these futurescapes (plus a few more) from the 1972 "Italy: The New Domestic Landscape [pdf]" exhibit at the MoMA, while PaleoFuture has a full rundown of vintage "kitchen of the future" ads from the '50s, '60s and '70s. Space-aged refrigerators, seated dishwashers, stovetops with built-in pots and pans—it's 2011 and we're still waiting. Future, are you out there? If you can hear us, tell Rosie we want pork chops for dinner.
