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.
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.
Henrik Otto, Senior Vice President of Design at Electrolux presented an exciting new kitchen concept Friday 12 Feb 2010 at the Swedish Museum of Architecture in Stockholm.
Imagine never having to use pans or pots again, never having to worry whether the ingredients are fresh or never having to look up a recipe in a cook book. Heart of the Home is a thought provoking vision of the kitchen of the future – an integrated solution functioning as a kitchen table, cooking surface and bar all in one.
