Eight Electrolux Design Lab finalists offer Intelligent Mobility solutions. The ninth edition of the annual Electrolux Design Lab competition challenged industrial design students to consider Intelligent Mobility within home appliances.
Eight young designers, chosen from a field of 1,300 entrants, will now present their concept to a jury of expert designers in London, 7th September 2011.
Electrolux will present the eight finalists, representing Australia; Canada; Finland; Hungary; New Zealand; Slovakia and the USA, in a programme that also features insights from Electrolux product specialists and leading designers, including Electrolux global head of Design, Henrik Otto.
“The Eight finalists have shown insight and innovation to make it this far in the 2011 Electrolux Design Lab challenge” say’s Henrik Otto, SVP of Global Design at Electrolux. ”In what was a particularly challenging brief, the top eight are to be congratulated for their lateral thinking and creativity but they will now need to demonstrate why their concept should be crowned absolute winner.”
