Electrolux Design Lab: The Final Countdown

We have been tracking the Top 25 of Electrolux Design Lab entries here on YD and now it’s time to reveal the Final Eight. The booty at the end of the rainbow for the deserving winner will be 5000 Euros and a six-month paid internship at the Electrolux Global Design Center. Every young designer who is just starting out knows that adding this internship to his resume is going to carry a lot of weight. While I wish all the 8 finalists best of luck, I’d also like to remind the YD readers that I’ve written in detail about 4 of these designs earlier, and pretty soon I’ll be covering the rest, just to know your views. Those of you who missed the CNN Coverage can view it on the Yanko Design Facebook Page.

Cardinal Health Orwell

Cardinal Health worked with PDT's team of experts to find a new way to safely manage and reduce the highly pathogenic fluid waste generated during surgeries. Orwell(tm) is a revolutionary, completely contained system that can operate safely in the fast paced and highly regulated environment of the modern operating setting.

The development team integrated itself into the highly complex environment of hospital surgery centers to conduct research to fully understand the issues, current systems and protocols. This intensive research was the first phase in a two year informed development path that led Cardinal Health toward a safer and more effective solution.

Enes GP Concept

Enes GP is a Grand Prix racing car design for 2030 year. The concept inspired by the Grand Prix cars of Golden Era motorsports racings in the late 1930’s with distinct low slung shape, tall thin wheels and dreamatic open-wheel design. In the rear of the concept there are 3 vertical wings for air-braking system.

Concept has an additional "air-brake" spoiler like an aircraft behind the cockpit to reduce wear on the traditional brakes. At the end of long straights on which a very high top speed reaches the air-brake was activates. The panel behind the driver is mechanically erected while braking, increasing drag to a maximum and causing the car to slow down much faster. After the braking done the panel folds neatly into place again, and the ENES GP returns to its air-cheating slippery shaped self to accelerate out of the corner as fast as possible.

The Enes GP features the most dramatic door mechanism of any vehicle created. A rather dramatic entry to the concept is gained by opening the forward sliding origami-like canopy. Inside, the driver and passenger have unimpeded 180 degree views due to the lack of any A-pillars.
