Briefcase-Sized Dishwashers

The 'Compact Dishwasher' Fits in Any Nook or Cranny

— June 12, 2013 — Art & Design
In order to help urbanites save space, Electrolux designed the 'Compact Dishwasher.' The ultra-compact washer was created with a clean and modern look so that it can be placed anywhere and still look aesthetically pleasing.

In order to fit with any kitchen, the Compact washer comes in a glossy white, black or red. In addition, the controls and components were kept to a minimum so that it could maintain a streamlined look. The LED interface is easily accessible but is still hidden away. Though the controls are minimal, the dishwasher still has six dish washing settings operated by an efficient program.

The dishwasher was submitted as part of 2013's iF design awards. Electrolux's pleasing design and excellent niche targeting helped the Compact Dishwasher win gold for the iF product design award 2013.
