The Future of Green in Home Appliances

Update 9/24/2009: Cocoon, the fish and meat maker by Rickard Hederstierna from Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden, won first place. Congrats!
 ———————————————————————-
Have you heard about the global design competition being sponsored by Electrolux? The company invited undergraduate and graduate industrial design students to send in their home appliance ideas for the next 90 years, in honor of the Electrolux 90-year anniversary.

Eight finalists have been chosen from over 900 entries submitted from students in more than 50 countries. My favorite? Le Petit Prince by Martin Miklica from Brno University of Technology in the Czech Republic. His robotic greenhouse carries (and cares for) a plant as it travels and explores the planet Mars in search of nutrients to feed its host. It also reports its movements and progress to its fellow greenhouse robots via wireless communication.

Take a few moments to review the finalists, vote for your favorite design and stop back here to chat about the contest. Got a green home appliance idea you think’s a winner? Post your thoughts below.
