ameba _ washing machine and wall sculpture

task was "cleaning of the future" (future = 5 to 30 years from now on).
under consideration were all aspects of cleaning indoors.
challenge was to keep focused within this big field of cleaning varieties and the huge amount of
existing cleaning devices. my goal was not to create a "science fiction-like" scenario, but rather
to reference existing technology and material.
the AMEBA waching machine is no longer a traditional washing device. It is the most
advanced solution to date for the changing parameters on the horizon. It offers more than
a technical solution to cleaning your laundry. being able to experience the movement of
water and clothing in an organic way differentiates it from all conventional washing machines.
it is simultaneously functional machine and art. the "fold up" option with easy carabiner wall
further reflects its role as art in that it can be transported and displayed at the owner's next
living space.
the AMEBA washing machine changes the quality of life in a positive way by adding new
charisma to the living environment.
