eco2 by barbara grosse-hering from germany

eCO2 is an cleaning system for clothes for the private household, designed to
be formaly integrated into the living space. ECO2 cleans with liquid CO2 instead of water.
User-benefit: The machine needs neither water supply nor water drain, and the dirty laundry can be cleaned wherever it piles up - in the bed- and bathroom.
The pieces of cloth need not be seperated. Textiles with different colours and materials can be cleaned together. The washing process just lasts 30 minutes and after finishing, and clothing can be taken out already dry. eCO2 has a plain and simple form language, therefore it is perfect for the combination with other home furnishings. The access to the "cleaning drum" is possible through a dome-shaped top, which gives the device a high recognition value.
Each year about 330 million cubic meters of water are needed in Germany for the cleaning of laundry. The goal of this project was to reduce the use of water.
