你是否能想象，蔬菜擁有如同薯條一般的口感?依附在毛巾上的污垢“瞬間”就能一掃而光?你又是否能想象，隨處可見的塑料瓶也能引領時尚潮流?在本屆伊萊克斯設計實驗室的參賽作品之中，這些都成為了現實。2014年，伊萊克斯設計實驗室大賽組委會共收到1700多個創意作品，這些作品為未來 家居 的烹飪樂趣、織物呵護以及空氣凈化提供了多個解決辦法。本屆比賽的冠軍將從6位入圍選手中誕生,他們將在2014年11月12日在巴黎將自己的作品與創意呈現給評審團。
此次入圍總決賽的六名選手中就有來自中國的女大學生，Pan Wang將帶著她的“自然虛擬商店購物體驗”作品向總決賽發起沖擊。另外五位來自世界各地的天才設計學生也將帶著各自的作品來到巴黎，參加最后決賽，以下通過六強作品我們將穿越時空，與未來 家居 來一次親密接觸。
入圍作品：城市凈化器
設計者：Micha? Po?piech
城市凈化器創造了一個健康的室外微氣候，因為它可以凈化整個城市的空氣——同時包括家中的空氣。這個設備升降于空氣之中，得益于其由超輕材質和光電太陽能板制成的兩翼，讓它能如同水母一般移動。這一凈化器是由可替換的過濾器制成，裝置在椎體的兩翼之下。它是一個自動的，由無線控制的智能設備，匯聚在空氣過濾需求量高的人群密集區。
入圍作品：蓮
設計者：Fulden Dehneli
蓮作為一個空氣凈化器，它擁有三個便攜可充電的空氣清潔球。當主體提供綜合凈化的時候，球可以根據所需被帶到任何地方。這三個可充電的球狀物分別叫“清潔球”、“清新球”和“濕潤球”，用以完成詳細任務。超等離子科技能在其定位的地方生成活性氫，可以消除生物污染的氧離子和活性氧。便攜部件在一些需要局部凈化的情況下是很有用的，比如烹飪、睡覺以及清潔壁櫥的時候。
入圍作品：SET TO MIMIC
設計者：Sorina R?steanu
它是一個智能廚房用具組，它可以根據你的傾向再現食物的口味和氣味。在你的頭上放置一個帶有微芯片的無害透明膠片補丁，碟子和玻璃杯將與你的大腦無線交流，通過輸入的記憶使你體驗以前的口味和氣味。這樣一來當你在吃胡蘿卜的時候就有在吃冰激凌或是牛排的感受，這將使你保持健康的生活變得更為簡單。
入圍作品：情景式購物系統
設計者：Pan Wang
情景式購物系統源自親臨大自然采集食材的靈感，用戶可通過全息投影置身于虛擬大自然中，自己捕魚、打獵、采集食材。用戶"采集"到的食材信息會通過系統傳送至當地超市或市場，最終真實的食材會被運送至消費者家中，從而完成購買。此系統不僅使購物體驗更加有趣，也使孩子們在享受美食時更好地了解到食物的來源。
入圍作品：Pete
就讀大學：莫霍利•納吉藝術與設計大學
Pete的概念融合了塑料瓶子和服裝設計，人們可以根據自己的口味用瓶子創造服裝。消費者只需要選擇所需的服裝類型、顏色和剪裁，機器就能計算出所需瓶子的數量，并將瓶子轉化成聚酯材料打印出服裝。此方法創造了一個塑料瓶自然循環利用的方法，并讓消費者成為了生態設計師。
入圍作品：毛巾清潔器
設計者：Leobardo Armenta
毛巾清潔器是一個智能毛巾掛鉤，可以在使用毛巾后立即清潔毛巾，讓浴室變得更加干凈、更加健康。通過使用紫外線和高速干燥風機，可以在幾秒內凈化、干燥毛巾。它能清除毛巾上99.9%的細菌，并且降低毛巾濕度，從而幫助使用者保持健康干凈。
一等獎將頒給評審團認為最具突破性的未來 家居 設計作品的作者，其將獲得在伊萊克斯全球設計中心為期六個月的帶薪實習以及5000歐元獎金。二等獎、三等獎獲得者將分別獲得3000和2000歐元獎金。投票最高的作品將榮獲“人民選擇獎”，其作者可獲得1000歐元獎金。公眾投票階段現已結束，得票最多者將在法國巴黎的最終盛宴上公布。

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 Micha? Po?piech from Poland, smart kitchenware recreating tastes by Sorina R?steanu 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: Micha? Po?piech
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 R?steanu
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.
