Harry Potter’s New Broom

The Vacuun Cleaner is an unconventional vacuum cleaner that serenades as a broom. The sweeping and cleaning motions while using this appliance are ditto and make the task much easier than before. The small flexible tubes are designed to vacuum or clean corners where brooms find it difficult to reach. Made up of two parts the vacuum cleaner (broom) and charger (inspired by bucket) work in sync to clean up the house.

The cleaners is made thus: battery (at the bottom), dust deposit in broomstick (where is located the dust storage bag), LCD (indicating battery levels and rate of vacuum), vacuum system (at the bottom of the vacuum cleaner where the fan and electric motor) and the head of the vacuum cleaner (consisting of flexible tubes of polyethylene, which lets in the dust).

As far as production is concerned the components easily disassemble and can be injected in polyethylene. It is made by materials which can be easily recycled

Power Wash

The DualWash reminds me of the Electrolux Design Lab concept Bifoliate Double Dishwasher. The idea is similar, to have a wall mounted dishwasher that doubles up as a storage cabinet. However the DualWash features some newer innovations. This two sided dishwasher uses carbon-dioxide cleaning rather than water-based cleaning.

How it Works:

When the washing cycle is started, Carbon-dioxide cycle is activated, and Supercritical Carbon-dioxide is pumped to the cleaning chamber. Supercritical Carbon-dioxide has a very low surface tension, meaning instead of beading up into a ball like water, it spreads out widely covering all surfaces. During the washing cycle, Carbon-dioxide flows around the machine and cleans it. For solid particles, Supercritical Carbon-dioxide is turned to gas phase and food particle filter holds contaminates. The filter can be removed and cleaned.

Project developed with Bosch and Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH under Home Hereos – Designing Tomorrow’s Home Appliances.

Professionally Spiced Sauce

Mix is a smart appliance that comes loaded with a whole lot of recipes. Essentially the database makes it smart enough to calculate just how much spice and seasoning will your sauce need. According to your recipe and portions, the device dispenses either a powder encased in a ball or a liquid sauce. Simply use the dispensed portion and cook with confidence, knowing that you are cooking a professional meal!

Ah, Refreshed!

With an aim to provide a fuller sensory experience, The Refresh was designed to act as a portable device that instantly cools your beverage. Essentially this means no more warm diet coke! Keeping up with the theatrics of good design, the appliance helps form a light condensation, followed by an enticing mist that envelopes the beverage bottle. Using advanced thermoelectric technology, the electric current causes the internal semiconductor nodes to instantly freeze.

As the designer explains, after the beverage is cooled Refresh converts the excess energy back into its rechargeable battery.

Materials: Clear coat stainless steel over an icy blue frosted glass which creates a smooth, cold and refreshing feel.

Blending With Tempo

I like designer Fu Chun Wan’s thought process that music and cooking go hand in hand. When its soul comforting food cooked with love, it makes the whole process much easier and appealing. And surely aids like the Tempo Blender help a lot! The machine not only tells you how much of the ingredients you need to add, to make the perfect glass of slush or cocktail; but also blends in sync with the tempo beat belted out. In short you end up having fun and attempting tricks like how Tom Cruise performs in the movie ‘Cocktail.’

Electrolux Tempo Blender is a 2012 Electrolux Design Lab Top 30 entry.

Just Like Mom’s Cooking

The Motherspoon concept allows families to connect together and share family recipes even though distances may keep them apart. The concept of storing and sharing recipes has changed over the years and this appliance integrates the internet, a dedicated exchange platform and sensors to get it working.

Basically what happens is that you and your mom buy your own pair of Motherspoon and register onto a dedicated platform for file sharing. So when you mom cooks her recipe and uses the spoon to taste her food, the sensor laden spoon picks up the ingredients and deciphers the recipe. When put on its cradle, the spoon loads the recipe to the sharing platform so that you can access it, even if you live miles apart.

Essentially your cooking gets to be just like your mom’s, or like any other person who you add to your online group. As simple as that!

The Magic of Flambé

Inspired the 1815 creation, the Davy lamp, Fiery sets a new standard in restaurant styled cooking at home. Encouraging one to discover new tastes and flavors, Fiery actually allows you to flambé food without the worry of the fire. The appliance uses a wire mesh to isolate flame, making it easy to use and impress family and friends. Simply pour the liquor in a pan or a plate, press the button to ignite the fire, and then remove it when the flame turns off. Exciting!

Fiery is a 2012 Electrolux Design Lab entry.

Twist and Clean

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.

Perfectly Tipsy

The Hurricane is a fun way to blend and mix your cocktails. Unless you are Bond who likes his Martini shaken not stirred, you can expect this appliance to blend you a mean mojito or a spectacular rum punch. All you need to do is choose your poison and then add in the ingredients as directed. A step-by-step guide is displayed on the screen and it sets the ball rolling for you. Concoct classics like Tom Collins or something new and exotic; just don’t get too carried away with the drinks…that’s all!

Hurricane is a 2012 Electrolux Design Lab shortlisted entry.

Better Than Roomba?

In a way yes, because this robotic vacuum cleaner uses eco-sense for operations! The Giving Tree is as robotic as the next iProduct and it cleans your space with TLC. The eco angle is included via the power system. It has been designed to conserve electricity and in a way harness some juice while it’s working. Before the engineers start their tirade, let me tell you that the idea is worth exploring. Unlike some commercially available robotic cleaners whose batteries die out within a year or two, having an eco-backup plan sounds better. What do you think?
