Electrolux, Imagine the home in 2020 - international design contest 2005

Electrolux H.P.C - High Pressure Cleaning - is a next generation, environment friendly washing machine, for users who are really interested in and fund of technics........ It has a new operation method: there is a "normal" drum in the machine, its axis is 30 degrees inclined, and the holes are bigger. This is because in the top part of the machine there are sensors, which are analyzing through the holes the upcoming piece of the clothes, and optically and chemically defines the type and scale of the dirt in the clothes. This information goes into the operating computer.

The high pressure cleaning units at the bottom part get the information of the proper cleaning mixture of washing fluids, for that analyzed dirt, and inject it directly to it. Because the drum is inclined, the clothes always change position, so every part of them can be cleaned. This system uses the water much more effectively, and uses much less of it. The design is highly tecnhical-stylish with its see-through plastic body it lets the users see the work of the machine. The base is made of cast-concrete. This design is enchanced by the simple sphere-shaped elements of the machine. (big - 70cms, small - 20cms in diameter) The control buttons are placed onto a smaller sphere, on the top of a flexible neck.

When a program is selected, the button lits up, and while the program is running, the "play" button lits as well. At the bottom of this sphere there are two holes, by which the user can grab and hold the control panel in position. Whith the flexible neck it lets the user use the machine as it is best for him/her. The control-sphere shell be bent away, when the machine is opened.
