Wall-Mounted Washing Machines

This Designer Appliance Creates an Unexpected Focal Point

— October 19, 2018 — Tech
Appliances are something of a necessary evil within living spaces given that they are required but often take up ample floor space, so this conceptual wall-mounted washing machine aims to help put them up and off of the ground to help save space.

Designed by Kurz Kurz Design, the washing machine is intended to be mounted on a wall to be a focal point within a space rather than an appliance that needs to be hidden away in a laundry room or closet. As the size of the urban consumer living space continues to shrink, this aesthetic speaks to the need for style-conscious appliances that can be easily integrated into open-concept spaces to embrace the essential.

The conceptual wall-mounted washing machine is also quite easy to load and unload by eliminating the need to constantly bend over to access your garments.

2. Stylish & Multi-functional Appliances - These appliances are designed to be both functional and stylish, adding a unique touch to open-concept living spaces and meeting the needs of consumers who prioritize both style and function.
3. Ergonomic Design - The ergonomic design of wall-mounted washing machines eliminates the need for constant bending over, making it easier and more comfortable for individuals to access and use laundry appliances.
Industry Implications
