你是否能想象，蔬菜拥有如同薯条一般的口感?依附在毛巾上的污垢“瞬间”就能一扫而光?你又是否能想象，随处可见的塑料瓶也能引领时尚潮流?在本届伊莱克斯设计实验室的参赛作品之中，这些都成为了现实。2014年，伊莱克斯设计实验室大赛组委会共收到1700多个创意作品，这些作品为未来 家居 的烹饪乐趣、织物呵护以及空气净化提供了多个解决办法。本届比赛的冠军将从6位入围选手中诞生,他们将在2014年11月12日在巴黎将自己的作品与创意呈现给评审团。

　　此次入围总决赛的六名选手中就有来自中国的女大学生，Pan Wang将带着她的“自然虚拟商店购物体验”作品向总决赛发起冲击。另外五位来自世界各地的天才设计学生也将带着各自的作品来到巴黎，参加最后决赛，以下通过六强作品我们将穿越时空，与未来 家居 来一次亲密接触。

　　入围作品：城市净化器

　　　　设计者：Michał Pośpiech

　　城市净化器创造了一个健康的室外微气候，因为它可以净化整个城市的空气——同时包括家中的空气。这个设备升降于空气之中，得益于其由超轻材质和光电太阳能板制成的两翼，让它能如同水母一般移动。这一净化器是由可替换的过滤器制成，装置在椎体的两翼之下。它是一个自动的，由无线控制的智能设备，汇聚在空气过滤需求量高的人群密集区。

　　入围作品：莲

　　　　设计者：Fulden Dehneli

　　莲作为一个空气净化器，它拥有三个便携可充电的空气清洁球。当主体提供综合净化的时候，球可以根据所需被带到任何地方。这三个可充电的球状物分别叫“清洁球”、“清新球”和“湿润球”，用以完成详细任务。超等离子科技能在其定位的地方生成活性氢，可以消除生物污染的氧离子和活性氧。便携部件在一些需要局部净化的情况下是很有用的，比如烹饪、睡觉以及清洁壁橱的时候。

　　入围作品：SET TO MIMIC

　　　　设计者：Sorina Răsteanu

　　它是一个智能厨房用具组，它可以根据你的倾向再现食物的口味和气味。在你的头上放置一个带有微芯片的无害透明胶片补丁，碟子和玻璃杯将与你的大脑无线交流，通过输入的记忆使你体验以前的口味和气味。这样一来当你在吃胡萝卜的时候就有在吃冰激凌或是牛排的感受，这将使你保持健康的生活变得更为简单。

　　　入围作品：情景式购物系统

　　　　设计者：Pan Wang

　　情景式购物系统源自亲临大自然采集食材的灵感，用户可通过全息投影置身于虚拟大自然中，自己捕鱼、打猎、采集食材。用户"采集"到的食材信息会通过系统传送至当地超市或市场，最终真实的食材会被运送至消费者家中，从而完成购买。此系统不仅使购物体验更加有趣，也使孩子们在享受美食时更好地了解到食物的来源。

　　入围作品：Pete

　　　　就读大学：莫霍利•纳吉艺术与设计大学

　　Pete的概念融合了塑料瓶子和服装设计，人们可以根据自己的口味用瓶子创造服装。消费者只需要选择所需的服装类型、颜色和剪裁，机器就能计算出所需瓶子的数量，并将瓶子转化成聚酯材料打印出服装。此方法创造了一个塑料瓶自然循环利用的方法，并让消费者成为了生态设计师。

　　入围作品：毛巾清洁器

　　　　设计者：Leobardo Armenta

　　毛巾清洁器是一个智能毛巾挂钩，可以在使用毛巾后立即清洁毛巾，让浴室变得更加干净、更加健康。通过使用紫外线和高速干燥风机，可以在几秒内净化、干燥毛巾。它能清除毛巾上99.9%的细菌，并且降低毛巾湿度，从而帮助使用者保持健康干净。

　　一等奖将颁给评审团认为最具突破性的未来 家居 设计作品的作者，其将获得在伊莱克斯全球设计中心为期六个月的带薪实习以及5000欧元奖金。二等奖、三等奖获得者将分别获得3000和2000欧元奖金。投票最高的作品将荣获“人民选择奖”，其作者可获得1000欧元奖金。公众投票阶段现已结束，得票最多者将在法国巴黎的最终盛宴上公布。

　　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 Michał Pośpiech from Poland, smart kitchenware recreating tastes by Sorina Răsteanu 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: Michał Pośpiech

　　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 Răsteanu

　　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.
