Electrolux Design Lab 2010 Finalist: Dismount Washer by Lichen Guo, China

Lichen Guo identifies the conventional washing machine as an unnecessary occupier of space. The Dismount Washer addresses this by combining the cleaning vessel and laundry basket in one. The dirty laundry capsule is placed on a wall mountable motor (or 'energy stick') which takes up very little space. The energy stick also dispenses steam to aid the cleansing process.
