Ocean Debris Vacuums (UPDATE)

The Electrolux Vac from the Sea Looks like a Collector's Item

— October 28, 2010 — Eco
Channel your inner 'Little Mermaid' and start your own ocean collection (although the opposite of what Ariel collected in the Disney movie) with the Electrolux Vac from the Sea. And unless you have a Dyson, your vacuum cleaner is probably really boring to look at; Electrolux vacuums are all jazzed up.

Each Electrolux Vac from the Sea represents a different body of water. Decorative ocean debris covers each edition until it is barely recognizable as a cleaner. I feel like these vacuums could almost become collector items.

Earlier this year, Trend Hunter Katie Cordrey wrote about this initiative, and now it has come to fruition.
Trend Themes
1. Ocean Debris Collectibles - The Electrolux Vac from the Sea offers the opportunity to turn ocean debris into unique collector's items.
2. Decorative Vacuum Cleaners - Electrolux's jazzed-up vacuums present a disruptive innovation opportunity in the household appliance industry by making cleaning tools more visually appealing.
3. Environmental Sustainability in Product Design - The Electrolux Vac from the Sea initiative highlights the trend of incorporating sustainable materials and concepts into product design, paving the way for more environmentally-friendly innovations.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliance - The decorative vacuum cleaner trend opens up new possibilities for the home appliance industry to create visually appealing and functional cleaning appliances.
2. Collectibles - The Electrolux Vac from the Sea introduces a unique collectibles market by transforming ocean debris into decorative items.
3. Sustainable Product Design - The initiative showcases the potential for the sustainable design industry to create innovative and eco-friendly products by utilizing reclaimed materials.
