　　Electrolux Announces Design Lab 2014 Finalists

　　In the future, vegetables can be made taste like potato chips, towels can be cleaned in seconds and fashion created from plastic bottles, according to contestants at the Electrolux Design Lab competition. In 2014 the global student design competition received over 1 700 submissions offering solutions to Culinary Enjoyment, Fabric Care and Air Purification in the future home environments. The winner of the competition will be chosen from the top six finalists after presenting their concepts to a jury in Paris, November 12, 2014.

　　Six talented design students from around the world will impress the jury with their innovations; a cleaning towel hanger by Leobardo Armenta from Mexico, an air purifier resembling a lotus flower by Fulden Dehneli from Turkey, a cone shaped flying air cleaner by Michał Pośpiech from Poland, smart kitchenware recreating tastes by Sorina Răsteanu from Romania, a nature inspired virtual grocery shopping experience by Pan Wang from China / UK and a fashion appliance turning plastic bottles into clothes by Kovács Apor from Hungary.

　　1. UrbanCONE

　　Country: Poland

　　Designer: Michał Pośpiech

　　University: The Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts, Poland

　　UrbanCONE creates healthy microclimates outdoors as it can purify the air around the entire city – as well as in our homes. The device lifts up and flies in the air thanks to ultra light construction and photovoltaic solar panel wings moving according to the resemblance of a jellyfish. The purification is made by exchangeable filters that lie underneath the wings of the cones. UrbanCONE is an automatic, radio-controlled smart device, which clusters in population centers with greater need for filtration.

　　2. Lotus

　　Country: Turkey

　　Designer: Fulden Dehneli

　　University: Middle East Technical University, Turkey

　　Lotus is an air purifier with three portable and rechargeable air cleaning balls. While the main body offers a general purification, the balls can be taken anywhere according to need. These three rechargeable balls named Pure Ball, Odor Ball and Humid Ball aim to accomplish specific tasks. Super Plasma Ion Technology generates active hydrogen and oxygen ions which eliminate biological contaminants and active oxygen where they locate. Portable units are useful in situations where localized purification is necessary such as cooking, sleeping and closet cleaning.

　　3. SET TO MIMIC

　　Country: Romania

　　Designer: Sorina Răsteanu

　　University: West University Of Timisoara, Romania

　　Set to Mimic is a set of smart kitchenware that recreates tastes and smells of your food to your preference. By placing a noninvasive transparent gel patch with a microchip on your head, the plate and glass communicates wirelessly with your brain, to make you experience a taste or smell from the past by tapping in to your memory. That way you can eat a carrot but have the impression that youre eating an ice cream or a steak, which makes it easier to lead a healthy life.

　　4. FUTURE HUNTER-GATHERER

　　Country: United Kingdom

　　Designer: Pan Wang

　　University: Masters Industrial Design, China

　　Central Saint Martins , United Kingdom

　　Future Hunter-Gatherer is a virtual grocery shopping experience inspired by nature. It projects a hologram that lets the user play a game to gather food by fishing, hunting or gathering the food from nature. The food the user collects in the game is then transmitted to the local grocery store or market, that in turn gathers the goods and deliver them to the user’s door. In addition to making the shopping experience more fun, it also gives kids a better understanding of where the food they eat actually comes from.

　　5. Pete

　　Country: Poland

　　Designer: Kovács Apor

　　University: Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest, Hungary

　　The PETE concept merges plastic bottles and creates garments from them according to your taste. The consumer only has to choose the required clothing type, colour and cutting, while the machine gives the amount of PET bottles needed for the fabrication and turns the bottles into polyester and prints the garments. This method creates a natural recycling method for plastic bottles and turns the consumer into an eco-designer.

　　6. Pure Towel

　　Country: Mexico

　　Designer: Leobardo Armenta

　　University: Universidad Autonoma De Ciudad Juarez, Mexico

　　PureTowel is a smart towel hanger that instantly cleans your towel after usage, creating a cleaner and healthier bathroom. Using an ultra violet ray and a high speed dryer fan, it purifies and dries the towel in only a matter of seconds. By eliminating 99.9% of the bacteria in a towel and reducing humidity it helps the user to stay healthy and clean.
