Electrolux Design Lab 2013 – Finalist Eight

Posted: 26 Sep 2013 09:39 AM PDT

As it moves past its first decade, the Electrolux Design Lab Competition only keeps getting better and innovative. This year saw the introduction of many new facets and sub-themes in the brief, and the end result has been astounding! Designers were asked to share their ideas right from the sketching stage and then were guided to move towards the final renderings. Taking it a step further, we have here the videos of the Eight Finalists of the Electrolux Design Lab 2013!

Atomium by Luiza Silva

Atomium is a 3D printer that uses molecular ingredients to construct food layer by layer. The product helps children prepare their own food in a fun way, it turns the moment of eating into an enjoyable, creative and healthy activity. The child can draw the shape of the food they would like to eat, show it to the appliance, which then detects this information and prints food in the desired shape as well as choosing molecular ingredients to construct nutritional balance for user’s body, thus also making eating healthier.

Global Chef by Dawid Dawod

Global Chef is a kitchen appliance that brings people together all across the world by using laser hologram technology and is thus also a strong visual experience for cooking. With the help of the appliance you can cook with your loved ones or take cooking lessons from top chefs. The appliance analyzes food, has a motion detection camera and can project holograms 360° around itself. The main influence of this concept is the growth of single households in densely populated and developed urban areas. People are interested in cooking and want to develop and share their experiences and this cooking aiding and connecting appliance enables creating that connection and encourages to creativity.

Breathing Wall by Jeabyun Yeon

Breathing Wall is a wall integrated air cleaning concept for people who live in urban areas and want to relax and rest in a home with fresh air. The gills of a fish and their movement inspire the design concept when the fish breathes. This inspiration is transformed to a wall mounted integrated solution making the wall change shape according to the air cleaning process. The Breathing Wall can be customized to suit individual needs through six functions; weather, memory, reaction, breathing, mood, and general settings by using a smart device app.

Nutrima by Janne Palovuori

The appliance is foldable, easy to bring along and supported by an app which maps your experiences and gives tips of resellers with high quality ingredients. Nutrima helps you to find healthy food and eat in a healthy way and share this exploration with others; it is also a social experience over healthy food, with the chance of making an impact on the local, urban food market.

3F by Germain Verbrackel

The name of this appliance 3F stands for Form Follows Function. This is an appropriate name, since the physical body of this vacuum cleaner can change form and expand to suit the task required. The inspiration for this product comes from ballet dancing: while at work it resembles a skirt, floating gracefully over your floor. Whether used in compact or wide mode, it is a vacuum cleaner providing efficiency, smartness and empathy to the user. 3F will not only save you time and space, but will also surround you with cleanliness and fragrant scents of your choice.

Fogless Shower!

Posted: 26 Sep 2013 09:29 AM PDT

The Wind Rain Fire shower system integrates the exhaust fan with the showerhead, making sure that steam and heat is instantly dispersed. 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.

Wind Rain Fire is a Reece Bathroom Innovation Award winner.

Electro Kicks

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!

Alpine Chic Shelter

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.
Inside are two hanging beds (hidden in the walls) and a washbasin. The dynamic character of the interior is created by many intersecting planes and no right angles. Small windows running throughout the entire building break up the walls with narrow streams of light. Frosted glass provides privacy inside and allows users to feel comfortable. LED lights at the ceiling provide illumination after sundown.
Better yet, the entire system is mapped in an online app for easy access. Users can even book online for an overnight stay!

Designers: Michal Holcer & Malgorzata Blachnicka
