Electrolux – Design Lab 2007 competition

I haven’t heard about this competition until today but it looks interesting . Tomorrow the winner will be announced in Paris and will get a prize of 5,000€ . The idea in this years competition was to create a eco-friendly design and sustainable household appliances and solutions for 2020.

In this years final managed to get 8 designs . I find some of them really interesting and useful in the future but some of them are really silly :) But here they are :

Return POT

Fog Shower
