Electrolux Design Lab Gets Urban Twist

The Electrolux Design Lab competition is back for its eleventh go-round, and this year the theme–urbanization–invites a broader array of entries than ever before. Design students (undergraduate or graduate) from around the world have until March 15 to submit creative ideas for an innovative product, accessory, consumable, or service that “would be seen as a breakthrough within the sector of social cooking, natural air, or effortless cleaning.”

Flummoxed by the concept of social cooking, and fearful that it may involve having to share dessert, we consulted Electrolux and learned that for this category, the judges are looking for ideas that address city dwellers’ “shortage of entertaining space and preparation time, whilst allowing us to live a healthier lifestyle.” This sounds like a job for Jetsons-style food pellets–after all, last year’s first-prize winner was Jan Ankiersztajn‘s Aeroball, a constellation of luminescent, helium-infused balls that floatingly filter and fragrance the air in a room. Noble gases win again. Begin the brainstorming process (where can we get some delicious yet effortless neon?) by watching highlights from last year’s finals, held at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan.

From the Holy Cow Department: A Self-Propelled Track Saw

mafell-pss3100.jpg

This is officially the craziest woodworking tool I’ve ever seen. German power tool manufacturer Mafell makes a track saw called the PSS 3100e. You say, big deal, Festool makes a track saw, Eurekazone makes one. But Mafell’s is freaking automatic.

The PSS 3100e from MAFELL is the worlds first self-driven, rail-guided and mobile panel saw. In a single operation, the portable panel saw system handles cutting of lengths of up to 2800 mm (110 1/4 in.) and with the follow-on fence even longer cuts are possible.

“2800mm”—By the way guys, once we get into the thousands with the millimeters, can’t we just switch over to meters? It’s like saying your baby is 64 months old. Anyways check this crazy thing out:

Pretty sweet that it’s got a scoring setting, so you don’t have to manually raise and lower the blade each time. I do wonder about the safety of the thing: For example, let’s say it’s making a 2-meter (sorry, 2000mm) cut, and while it’s just 3/4s of the way through, someone bumps into the still-attached waste side of the material behind the blade and closes the kerf. What happens, does the resultant binding and kickback cause the thing to shoot backwards, or does it just shut down?

Still, I love that it comes back to home base after each cut. And Mafell, like Festool, is preoccupied with dust collection: They claim the PS 3100e operates “virtually dust free” when hooked up to a vac, even if you’re cutting plasterboard.

I’m scared to ask how much this thing costs, but it’s probably moot for us Yanks; looks like Mafell’s keeping it Euro-market-only.

Time in Color

Gotta love this clever take on the modern watch! The Colorclock redefines the way we envision time by slowly transitioning the hue of the face across the color spectrum as time goes by. Now you get up five minutes to green, grab some lunch at half-past yellow, and go to bed at the stroke of purple. Do want!
