Designed by Jonatan Rosman, the conceptual Electrolux Steam closet works by enabling users to place clothing on the interior section and perform [steam cleaning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darimeven). This helps to conserve energy, the amount of water used to clean clothes and save a ton of space by potentially eliminating the need for [traditional washing machines and dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laundry-system). The Electrolux Steam clothing cabinet can work on several levels to steam clothing to release wrinkles, intensify it to sanitize them and even clean them gently to eliminate the need to constantly go to the dry cleaners. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Compact Living Spaces:** Opportunity for innovative appliances that maximize space usage in small living areas. - **Energy-efficiency in Cleaning:** Potential for appliances that conserve energy and reduce water usage in cleaning processes. - **Alternative Clothing Cleaning Methods:** Room for disruptive innovations that provide alternatives to traditional washing machines and dryers. ### Where This Applies - **Appliances:** Opportunity for appliances manufacturers to create innovative products for compact living spaces. - **Home Improvement:** Possibility for disruptive innovation in the home improvement industry with energy-efficient cleaning solutions. - **Laundry Services:** Potential for disruptive technologies that offer alternative clothing cleaning methods to traditional dry cleaners. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Tech Clothing Care Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hightech-clothing-care.md) - [Shapeshifting Garment Care Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garment-steamer.md) - [Minimalist Wardrobe Dehumidifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wardrobe-dehumidifier.md) - [Germ-Killing Clothing Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clothing-care-appliance.md) - [Handheld Garment Cleaning Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-dry-cleaner.md) - [Sanitizing Organizational Clothing Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clothing-cabinet1.md) - [Miniature Sanitized Cabinet Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yujin-lee.md) - [Fully Automated Ironing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fully-automated-ironing-system.md) - [Hygienic Shoe Care Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-styler-shoecare-and-shoecase.md)
