More from Milan – The Plate with a Twist

Milan Design Week provided no shortage of inspiration for the Electrolux Design Team and as if to show one can find such inspiration anywhere, if you care to look for it, Thomas Johansson, Electrolux Design Director, identified this simple but beautiful plate in particular. Made from recycled cardboard/paper it proved to be sturdy, stylish and with an  indent to ensure easy grip, a practical way of holding the food served at an opening event party. Check out more images and thoughts below.

Simple & Smart Design from Milan Furniture Fair

At the furniture fair in Milan, Martin Alexanderson (designer at Electrolux) found a clever interpretation of the chair from Vitra. This strap (15 Euro’s) acts as a body support, allowing one to  sit down in places that don’t offer a conventional solution when the need arises.  Perfect for the beach, the park or for use at a transport terminal whilst waiting to get a bus or train ticket should an erupting volcano disrupt flight plans.

Electrolux SHINE Laundry Concept Launched in Milan

The Electrolux SHINE washing machine concepts were launched at Eurocucina, Milan yesterday. The design concepts (not actual Electrolux products) are potential solutions to address the issue of shrinking domestic spaces, with one of the appliances being wall mountable and the other designed for integration within a bathroom (for those who may not have a dedicated space for laundry).  Both of the concepts were shown in a bathroom context at the Riva 1920 exhibition space, also at Eurocucina.  We’ve posted more images and further detail below.
