Bosch 360 Washer and Dryer

TheFuture — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 05:02:48 +0000

The Bosch 360 is a washer and dryer concept that utilizes a spherical drum which allows the clothes to be washed in all direction for maximum cleaning. The designers found that front loading machines clean better than top loading machines. But for rinsing, top loading are better because they work with centrifugal force and are more balanced. This is why their design solves both issues in washing. The Bosch 360 also utilizes a spherical shell that flows into a base. This creates a real eye catcher in the store. Once someone sees this round washer they will almost be forced to go look at it. Then they will notice the spherical drum which is the best part. After all if the spherical drum were in a “box” not half as many people would notice it right off.

The control panel is on the door uses digital touch screen technology. This idea is not new but creating a dome shaped touch display is new. When touched, the display lights up to reveal the settings and you just need to touch the cycles that you want to use it. The cool thing about the round shell and dome touch display is that now you have an easy wipe surface to clean.

TheFuture — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 08:42:21 +0000

Are you tired of doing the same old domestic task every day? Then try out “Baguni”, a washing machine that integrates a detachable laundry basket cum washing drum. Everyone needs a basket in order to collect laundry then the laundry basket is poured into the washing machine. Now, here comes the role of ‘Baguni’ as this laundry basket can be easily placed inside the washing machine and it serves as the washing machine drum. Once the washing process is done, the clean laundry can be detached from the washing machine along with the drum or the basket. Jihyung says : “The average household uses a laundry basket to collect dirty clothes and then when full, empties it into the laundry. But why not take out a step? Just put in the laundry itself!”. Hence, now onwards, you can get rid of the usual process of pouring the laundry from your basket.

TheFuture — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 07:03:44 +0000

Are you bored of your washing machine? Then you might wish to try out this Electrolux iBasket because it will automatically clean your clothes with transparency. It is designed by Guopeng Liang at China Tongji University during an Electrolux 2008 Design Lab Competition. It is a real innovation with great potential to make the process of washing clothes less daunting experience. This laundry hamper will automatically wash your clothes once enough clothes are tossed inside as per the weight. You can also control the frequency of wash cycles. The iBasket will also send you a message on your computer once the cleaning is done.

Designer words :

“Failing to manage laundry and piles of dirty clothes is one of the many daily chores that are left unattended by so many busy people, whose jobs doesn’t leave them with time to take care of them. Whether you have a washing machine in your home or go to the corner laundromat, doing wash is a royal pain. Especially for the i-generation, who had whole hours pass in the blink of an eye, sometimes whole days get eaten up in some black hole and so household chores pile up. With a view to offer a little help, I have designed iBasket – a revolutionary washing machine that could really make life easier.

The i-generation are too busy working for their dreams. What if the whole laundry thing could be forgotten and both time and attention are saved for dream work?

The idea is to use this as a hamper, throwing your dirty clothes in as they accumulate. The iBasket then senses when the load is full and initiates the wash and dry cycle. Since it is Wi-Fi-enabled, you can control and monitor (if you’d like to do so) the concept washing machine via your PC or mobile device. Once the the cycle is complete, iBasket will alert you and send a message to your PC or mobile”

Alternative Clothes Cleaner : Washing Machine Which Allow You to Sit On It

TheFuture — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 07:21:59 +0000

How about the future homes having a dedicated room just for washers and dryers? Designed by Harsha Vardhan from New Delhi, India, this Alternative Clothes Cleaner is a conceptual washing machine which doubles up as a large seat. It has two modes of operation, active and passive, though both allow you to sit atop the unit. No detergent or water is required, as either — the inner chamber acts as a pressure washer and also cleans the clothes with ionized air which means no drying, too. So one unique way to conserve water when the same would be in less quantity.

WashUp, Reuse Waste Water

TheFuture — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 01:54:43 +0000

Going green also means saving water. Do you know that we use around 150 litres of water for a washing machine ? After that, the water will go down the drain just like that, when we actually can reuse it. “Washup” is a conceptual design integrating washing machine with toilette-flush. It suggests a sustainable water consumption by storing the wasted water in toilette-flush tank and reuse it with flushing. Moreover, “washup” brings a solution for the problem of location of washing machines in small bathrooms, overlapping washing machine usage space with toilette usage space. It is fixed on wall upwards toilette, so that loading of clothes would be easier for the user without bending or crouching. A special interface including three semi-sphere control units & two flushing buttons is designed for a practical usage of the product. “Washup” is a green product offering solutions for the problems of standard washing machines.

Combination of Drier and Cleaner (Hand Cleaner in The Future)

TheFuture — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 09:46:20 +0000

This combination of drier and cleaner can be a great help if we can have it, thanks to Qian Jiang & Feijun Chen that came up with this concept. The form of the work derives from the towel in our daily life. It appears ordinary, but it can unintentionally take care of our health. It can be recharged by the solar energy. And when we don’t use it, we can place it in the balcony to absorb the sunshine. It is our habit to use ultraviolet as disinfector in our daily life, when drying the towel, clothes and others. We hope that users continue to form the habit through the use of Drier and Cleaner. After washing hands, if we only use the hand drier, many bacteria will still remain on our hands. However, Drier and Cleaner will solve this problem in a healthier and greener way. This product is mainly suitable in the future family.
