Electrolux Design Lab 2007Electrolux, one of the world's leaders in innovative cooking and cleaning solutions for the home, once again is encouraging students across the globe to fire up their creative juices and design household appliances for the future.
This year's requirement is that submissions be environmentally-soun d, commercially-viable and enable people to better live in harmony with the environment.
The goal is to go above and beyond simple energy and water efficiency and suggest ways to foster sustainable behavior and product usage.
"We see this competition as one way Electrolux can involve the creativity of young people and get them to focus on global climate change that will affect us all," says Hans Stråberg, Electrolux President and CEO.
Over the years thousands of students have participated in Electrolux's Design Lab global competition that has culminated in a series of international workshops at the finals, which previously have taken place in Budapest, New York, Stockholm and Barcelona.
The location for this year's Design Lab event is Paris.
