Electrolux Design Lab 2010 Finalists

[Upaie]

and in the end, as does Sandra Bullock. Use the three shells.

[iLOVENATURE2011]

i appreciate the video...=)

[MizFayeTZ]

I don't understand! Why could we always see so many new super great ideas come out but I've never seen a new technology like those design in the real life????

[mastermalpass]

To everyone wondering if anyone at Electrolux is pondering just how exactly they're gonna achieve these whacky designs:

"They say great science is built on the shoulders of giants. Not here, at Aperture/Electrolux we do all our science from scratch - no hand holding."

[ryanvanderwesthuizen]

Why would you need a washing machine on your wall when your closet cleans your clothes for you and why would you need a portable dishwasher ??????

[CiaoBello21]

All good concepts. But who the hell would want a fridge outside their home? Thats insane.

[wrodpressthemes]

I love that "Clean Closet" :P

[Photoprofessional]

I thought the Snail was a slow moving automated cleaning device that you must put on your window for example and it will slowly clean it.

[MultiHendo]

what if you put the portable micro heating thing on the side of the green fridge?

[CurtisDoverY0]

i could use the clean closet. for sure

[banga999]

0:33 man that's one boring-ass looking white place, I wouldn't want to live in a world like that bland.

[cristohv]

pretty cool....although some of the stuff on here are pretty stupid and pointless but other then that pretty good

[TheVacuumQueen]

Electrolux is come a long way

[DrawWithLaura]

I don't like the idea of living in condos and having all the same shit as everyone else =A=

I always wanted to live in my own house, full of my own stuff-oh and I don't want everything to be WHITE!!! It feels like a huge acomplishment of my work to come home to my own house, rather then riding the elevator to my rented suite : /

[Azfargh]

@DrawWithLaura Easy girl... the buildings are scenery, nothing more... u know. And I agree with ya... just the houses that I´ve build on The Sims are 10x better than Apple Corp. Buildings.

[DrawWithLaura]

@Azfargh Well yeah I know... but its a realistic design, and we only need one guy to start building one. They truley do save a lot of space, and are a very genius design... I just really don't like thetm X3 hopefully I'm really rich before that happens so I can stay in my own house lol!

[mastermalpass]

@DrawWithLaura A plain white house is actually perfect, don't look at it like a uniform, look at it like a canvas. Buy some paint, spray up your walls, let your artistic mind flow and do the one thing that Robots can't do for you...

...No Electrolux don't you dare! Art is the one thing left that makes us human.

[DrawWithLaura]

@mastermalpass Have you ever lived in an apartment before? XD

I love your comment, it's really optimistic, but unfortunately it's un-realistic...

Your not allowed to paint walls or put holes in them without permission. No new cupboards... carpet... counter tops... which means everything would stay white, and if I made it otherwise... I would be in VERY big trouble *~*

[mastermalpass]

@DrawWithLaura Well... Blu Tak and posters are the next best thing. =P

[Azfargh]

Awesome products that we can´t have it.

Thats why I don´t like concept ideas...

[DrawWithLaura]

@Azfargh Why can't we have it? Concepts are what design the future. If you don't think that the I-pod, light bulb, dishwasher, or ANYTHING wassn't a concept at one point... then your missing a huge piece to the puzzle my friend!

[Azfargh]

@DrawWithLaura I mean "we can´t have it... now". It will take a sweet time until get to mass production point at considerable price point. I hate to wait for so long... just that. U do design course too, right?

[DrawWithLaura]

@Azfargh Ah. Yeah... thats true @~@

And yes I am in a designing course. Or more like I will be very soon.

I will be in February ;)

[officialgracerolek]

When can these genius things be made??

[nelumb0fairy]

guys, stop arguing about what people will use in the future!

just enjoy the really cool ideas that these students came up with!

[ExileCU]

AWESOME :D

[samaeloffated]

OMG, WTF is with all you negative ass people? If you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything.

[duducaico]

Really nice, i just didn't like the goo refrigerator

[DrawWithLaura]

@duducaico Lol thats my favorite one XD

[coachU2]

It's 2050 and people still like those fugly Ron Arad Corian chairs?

[jordan32none]

I love how the majority of people who comment have no idea what they're talking about. Students were given a brief to fulfil, not predict how other aspects of life will be or cater for your opinion. Some really good ideas, I loved both of the fridges.

[Ulterior1980]

I can guarantee you that in 2050 your grandchildren will be using something not very far away from the current designs. This is a complete bullshit or it will be available for the richest.

Did the world changed in 20 years? Phones and computers - that's it - we still use cooking pans, refrigerators, normal chairs and tables, TV's became a little bit better, and I dont believe it will deviate much.

[purjelauta]

@Ulterior1980

.. and I hope by 2050 people change their language in respect to other people and also remove their wooden brains.

[Ulterior1980]

@purjelauta i feel sorry that you got wooden ones...

[jajajah86]

If 75% of the pop will live in claustrophobic cities withouth green spaces maybe we should be thinking about birth controll not trying to adapt to the needs of the population growth. All these stuffs in the video should have concept like the "passive house". Simple, efficient, clean, recycleable....

[WhiteJewDevil420]

the future if anything will be squatter camps,on a scale no one can imagine

[pnjhd246]

I don't think anything will change :| 

[liesder]

The only one who really caght my attention was "The Snail". If they managed to build something like that it wouldbe awesome!

The rest is just space-age madness.

[shadowshian]

not a place id want to live too sterile and contemporary desing isnt one of my favorites.

[IndustrialDesignUPM]

wow...good.....

[TheboyPaj]

In the future, you will want your dirty laundry to be wall-mounted (?)

[Prestonboy13]

why does everything look like an apple product

[bravestarr99]

@Prestonboy13 yeah. no own ideas. just copies. fail!

[DrawWithLaura]

@bravestarr99 Lolwut?

[talatsmum]

@Prestonboy13 because a lot of apple products are attractive and easy to use, and design people realise that things like that are popular. i assume.

[bnerdyful]

In 2050 people won't care about flashy over-designed furniture so maybe you should work on designing something that keeps you employed creating bs. Oh wait, that's called marketing.

[mhaidarhanif]

Impressive product designs!

[adamtheukdon]

Awesome designs. What heppens to them now?! any of them go into development?

Hopefully its not just pretty images!

:P

Anyone know what song too?

[javierios26]

Wow, formidable !

[radtwelve]

cool! so is that on another planet?

[azie08203]

whoa cool! :)

[duf4strick]

perfektes zusammenspiel ... respekt!

[dandizzle4444]

I love the inclusion of coat hangers in the 'clean closet' concept, fascinating how far we can step into the future, yet still manage to hold onto some of the most rudimentary elements of present day life...

[danorambo]

wowzer

[cgmodeler]

Congrats, great idea to mount them :) Good luck to all finalists!

[Joshuaeyebeehmmm]

great work Alwin .. keep rocking :)

[LeonardoAssisi]

Great Ideas..Design is progress!
