Electrolux, one of the world’s leading appliance manufacturers, is recruiting Canadian industrial design students to put their talent to work designing the future. Design Lab: The 2nd Space Age is looking for ideas for thoughtfully designed home appliances “that will shape how people prepare and store food, wash their clothes or do dishes in the homes of 2050.”
Last year’s winners came from Sweden, France and China but the judges recognized the top 25 ideas and that’s a pretty nice plaudit to add to your resume. Pictured above left is last year’s winner, Cocoon, by Rickard Hederstierna of the Lund Institute of Technology in Sweden. Similar to a microwave, Cocoon “prepares genetically-engineered and pre-packaged meat and fish dishes by heating muscle cells identified by RFID (radio frequency identification) signals. The signals detect the specific dish and then suggest the required cooking time.”
Electrolux invites Canadian undergraduate and graduate industrial design students to compete for a paid internship and prize money by submitting ideas that consider the shrinking domestic spaces of tomorrow. Visit the Electrolux Design Lab website for contest details.
