AWARE Laundry Lamp is a combined drying rack and a lamp. AWARE Laundry Lamp is an attempt to combine positive symbols and activities such as hang-drying your clothes outside in the sun, with designing your own lampshade. Go even further, and make a statement with the kind of laundry you put on display. Switching on the lamp helps in drying the clothes even faster as well as adding ambience to the room. Through this feature, the design comments on the fact that 95 percent of the electricity used in a traditional light bulb is transferred to heat, and only 5 percent to light. The design of the lamp encourages hang-drying instead of tumble-drying clothes, an alternative that drastically reduces electricity consumption on a large scale. Tumble dryers are one of the greatest consumers of electricity at home. * Year: 20062008 * Project: AWARE Design for Energy Awareness, Interactive Institute * Project team: Loove Broms, Karin Ehrnberger, Sara Ilstedt Hjelm, Erika Lundell, Jin Moen * Press images * Video (soon) www.visualvoltage.se
