swash by rohan saraf from india
designer's own words:
Swash is a washing device which washes up to 3 kg of clothes in one go. It works on same principles of washing machine by creating agitation to remove dirt with help of detergent. It is made of silicone giving it the required flexibility for functioning. Dotted texture on outside prevents it from slipping and inside ribbed texture enhances washing.
It can be used with hand or feet making washing clothes a secondary activity. It does not use electricity and also saves lot of water. The concept is tried and tested with mock-up devices.
Was inspired from a water container made from sheep skin.
It can also be used as a laundry bag when not washing clothes. 'SWASH' name was derived from simple wash and also means sound of liquid against solid surface.
