Taking it a step further, we have here the videos of the Eight Finalists of the Electrolux Design Lab 2013!

Breathing Wall by Jeabyun Yeon

The idea is to make the bathroom fell less stuffy after a hot shower. The system includes a towel-warming rail. On the whole, it's a great idea and step in the right direction.

| Posted: 26 Sep 2013 08:51 AM PDT Designed for bicyclists and joggers, Adam Nagy’s Lacoste Laser Cruiser shoe features electroluminescent fabric that not only gives the shoe head-turning style, but an added layer of defense and safety. Much brighter and longer lasting than glow-in-the-dark plastic, the EL fabric can be activated and deactivated by the wearer so they are glowing only when they want to be seen. Simply hold the heels together for a few seconds and BAM- Tron lighting at your feet! Designer: Ádám Nagy

| Posted: 26 Sep 2013 12:01 AM PDT Let’s say you’re lost in the wilderness, exhausted from a mountain excursion, about to freeze your a$$ off in the snow. What would be better than happening upon a warm, cozy shelter to protect you from the elements? How about one that’s architecturally AWESOME. That’s precisely what the Huba shelter is- a life-saving sanctuary designed with an entirely new style we’re dubbing “alpine chic.” Check out the interior! The concept, designed as an independent eco-friendly energy system, aims to improve the development of mountain tourism regions, upsizing their infrastructure while promoting the use of renewable energy. It benefits from natural water and wind resources in the mountain climate, harnessing the energy to power a heater, lighting and pump for showering with collected rain water. The modular design is compact and light enough to be air lifted to remote regions and is composed entirely of recycled plastics and fragments of wind-fallen trees. Designers: Michal Holcer & Malgorzata Blachnicka
