This washer-dehumidifier combo elevates your interiors without steaming up your home

We’ve seen an inclusive washer and dryer, a device that steam irons your clothes and purifies your home, another appliance to cleanse your air and clothes of dust and pollen. Just when you thought you’ve seen it all, we have another cool appliance to add to this list – say hello (from 6 feet away) to Drawsher which is the child of a washer and dehumidifier!

Laundry is one of the most disliked chores and so it is no surprise to me that many of us just let the clothes be in the basket till we run out of fresh underwear. It may not be stinky or filthy, but it is certainly not the most hygienic practice because you are lettings the bacteria from the clothes spill into the air around you. Also, if you don’t air out your washing machine after using it, it can lead to molds and malfunctioning of the appliance. Keeping all these details in mind, designer Kikang Kim created Drawsher which is a sanitary machine that functions as a laundry basket and a washing machine. You’ll notice that it also looks good unlike any washing machine you’ve seen before, and that is because Kim has based the design on a modern dresser that optimizes space and blends well with your interiors.

Drawsher ups your laundry game functionally and aesthetically – say goodbye to hours of sorting clothes, dealing with excessive humidity when it runs a cycle, smelly mold, and appliance upkeep. Keep scrolling to see the design process and find out why we love this washing machine that also doubles up as a sleek piece of furniture.

Designer: Kikang Kim

You don’t have to necessarily keep this washer hidden away because it is as beautiful as a stylized piece of furniture. It truly elevates your interior game without steaming up your apartment.

The main goal was to make doing laundry easier – so you can sort your clothes in the basket as you throw them in instead of sorting a big load on laundry day itself. Plus the dehumidifier helps to not steam up your apartment and clear that wet laundry smell that no Yankee candle can get rid of.

Through line drawing and paper-building, Kim was able to determine the right height for the Drawsher so it doesn’t cause any backache and continues being functional.

The build of the Drawsher is based on that of your modern dressers, it is meant to optimize space by also doubling up as your laundry basket. You don’t need a closet to keep your washer and your dirty clothes, you can have this appliance outside and now have extra space where the laundry basket/laundry room used to be – like a new shoe rack or a pantry room!

The dehumidifier is mounted at the back end of the Drawsher and keeps the laundry hygienic. It helps to keep the bad smell from the laundry baskets away and also the detergent smell when you do your laundry. Having it in-built means no humidity or steam when you use it and less upkeep of the appliance as it keeps away mold and mites.

Sorting laundry is such a tedious task and keeping 4 laundry baskets is simply inefficient. Drawsher has 4 separate compartments that let you sort dirty laundry the minute you throw it in instead of going through a whole pile later. One day, one t-shirt, one basket at a time.

The laundry drawers are seamlessly hidden without handles to keep your dirty laundry from being aired in public!

The lid of the filter is concealed with a rectangular opening so it blends in with the rest of the furniture-appliance aesthetic.

The blue color was chosen to represent freshness and the wood finishes complement it perfectly. The combination of the two is timeless and will fit in almost every interior setting. You can store laundry detergent and fabric softener on the top and control how much is to be used via the display screen.

Baby Laundry Made Easy

dockin_01

Between food and poo (seriously), keeping baby’s clothes clean and spotless is a near impossible task with conventional clothes washer/dryers. Many parents know the secret is to soak and boil stains away. Rather than use your cookware, the Docking Pot is a dedicated device designed to soak, boil, and clean kids’ clothing in a jiffy.

It works much in the same way as a kitchen grade water boiler but is specially sized and adapted to fit clothing, washcloths and baby towels. Simply soak in your preferred cleaning solution, set to boil and let it do the rest. When you’re finished, just press a button to drain and voila… blemish-free babywear!

An Enchanting Appliance

Gotta love the way the designers at Blond have reinterpreted the washing machine from a basic appliance to an artistic compliment in any interior! Now, instead of simply watching your clothes tumble through the window, you can have a mesmerizing visual element that’s completely unexpected.

The waved glass door was inspired by a water ripple and has been used to reinforce the notion of hygiene. The door surface allows the user to see into the drum but also creates a kaleidoscope type effect. These refractions turn the simple washing machine into something more sculptural and visually stimulating for the home environment.

Lean, Green Washing Machine!

supercritical_01

Supercritical is a conceptual washing machine that operates without water or detergent. It addresses the issues of unnecessary water consumption and pollution. The advantage of supercritical washing is that it requires neither water nor detergents, and is therefore entirely environment friendly.

The supercritical state can be reached above a given temperature and pressure. In this state the phase boundary disappears while the advantageous characteristics of both the liquid and the gas phase remain. The designer’s study found that for this process NO2 and CO2 are the most appropriate, as these gases can achieve their supercritical state around 30 °C. The gas used for the washing process can be regained entirely; furthermore it carries no health concerns. The high density that characterizes the supercritical state allows solving large amounts of contamination. The applied gases can solve apolar contaminants and the addition of aggregates can improve their capabilities of solving polar contaminants too. The gases suggested by us can be applied at low temperature, therefore they do not fracture the textile. They are also non-flammable, non-corrosive gases which ensures the long lifetime of the washing machine. The biggest benefit of this washing technology is that they do not pollute the environment. Last, but not least is to be mentioned that the applied method is fully antibacterial.

Washing with Air

Air Wash is a revolutionary way to clean garments using NO water and NO detergent! The eco-friendly design captures, compresses and converts CO2 into its liquid form which has the unique natural ability to penetrate and remove stains and dirt. Not only saving energy and freshwater during the wash cycle, there’s also no need to tumble dry! Once the wash cycle is over, the door automatically opens and the CO2 liquid instantly evaporates, leaving clothes fresh and dry.

Mom says never leave home without clean underwear!

It’s sage advice that inspired this design, as well as an observation that 75% of college students admit to being constantly in need of underwear. The reason? Lack of access to washing machines or convenient laundry services. – The solution is called Bulbe, an alternative halfway between washing clothes by hang and with a machine. It’s compact, portable and fits into any bathroom. Wash up to 1.5 kg of laundry quickly and economically. Perfect for campus life! See how it works —>

Not Your Grandma’s Washboard

But just as easy to use! As appliances become increasingly multi-functional, so does their complexity of use. Gorenje’s red dot winning SensoCARE washing mashing achieves balance between technological functionality and user friendliness by focusing a straightforward design approach on the UI and the machine’s overall ergonomics. The operations panel has been visually conceived in a way that makes selection much easier for the user, without posing any restrictions on custom adjustments and settings of the machine.
