A big thank you to all of the contestants that entered the 2010 Electrolux Design Lab competition. After counting we received more than 1,300 entries. We are now set to announce 25 semi-finalists during the week commencing 14th June. Three weeks later (week commencing 5th July) we plan to announce the eight finalists that will be invited to London in September to present their concepts to a jury of expert designers, including Electrolux Design SVP, Henrik Otto. To see the concepts first, follow our postings here or connect with Electrolux Design Lab through our Facebook group.
Announcement of Design Lab Sem-finalists will be made w/c June 14th 2010
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.
There’s just over a month to go until the Electrolux Design Lab 2010 competition deadline arrives and we’re still on the look out for great ideas. This is what was done to inspire Belgian particpants.
Swedish design student Rickard Hederstierna from Lund Institute of Technology in Sweden won the Electrolux Design Lab 2009 competition for his “Cocoon” concept. The announcement was made at the Electrolux Design Lab final in London last September. MORE >
