Twist and Clean

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:29 AM PDT

The Hula Washer promises to keep you fit and svelte as you wash your clothes. Not only do you save time and money, but the concept also keeps your waistline under control. The energy you use to spin the Hula Washer, like a Hula Hoop is used to clean the clothes loaded into the washer segment. Add clothes and washing liquid to the hollow centre of the ring and then start to spin. The only thing problem I see it that it looks convenient for small clothes like socks and hankies, nothing more.

Hula is a 2012 Electrolux Design Lab Entry.

Designer: Sang-soon Lee

The Koeda Effect

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 04:55 AM PDT

Mixer tap designs are typical and stereotyped and we are basically programmed to use them in a particular way. More like up and down is on and off, and turning the mixer from left to right will change from hot to cold. Not that this is a bad thing, but imagine a redefined shape, a new intuitive adoption of operations…we have done that in the tech world, can we do that in Bathroom Innovations?

As the designer explains, "designed to be unconsciously intuitive, Koeda features a modified progressive cartridge that provides a simplified innate dial control. By rotating the dial in a clockwise motion, water temperature gradually changes from cold to hot. Water pressure flow will progressively increase as the dial is rotated further – ensuring users are less likely to accidentally turn up water flow and waste excess water."

  • Koeda is handcrafted in porcelain and finished with a flawless glaze.
  • An aerator manages the directional flow of the water and also softens the water's texture for a silky, gentle wash.
  • A slight bump angled at a 15° incline minimizes excess splashing.
  • An innovative series of six LED lights, efficiently powered by two lithium cells, change from a light sky blue to a warm orange and finally to a dark searing red, indicating the mix of cold and hot water.

The Intuitive Extinguisher

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 04:29 AM PDT

The Easy Trigger hopes to make your experience with a fire extinguisher less frightful and more intuitive. The thing is, different people have different ways to react during emergencies. Some are calm and collected and will follow instructions and pull out the pin correctly from the conventional extinguishers. Others may panic and fumble. In order to ensure smooth operations, the Easy Trigger was designed.

Intuitive and easy to use, this project is a 2012 iF Design Talents entry.

Designers: Shim Wonbo and Moon Woojung of SADI

This Ain’t Your Mama’s Cutting Board

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 12:01 AM PDT

Its designers describe the Slice cutting board as being “characteristically defined by its purpose yet visually inviting of attention in any kitchen environment,” and I couldn’t have said it better myself!  The removal of two mirrored, wedge shapes from either side of the board enhances the functionality of effortless lifting and controlled funneling of sliced food in one movement. It’s functionally practical for the same reason that it’s beautiful… exactly what good design is all about!

Designers: Jonathan Fundudis & David Holgreaves
