Henrik Otto, SVP of Global Design at Electrolux, was recently on CNN (25th June 2010) to provide a commentary on some of this year’s Electrolux Design Lab entries.
At Eurocucina (the kitchen fair held during Milan Design Week), Pernilla Johansson, Design Director at Electrolux, found prominent examples of integrated and stylish design. Here are some clever details that caught Pernilla’s eye.
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.
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.
