11Introduction
“By 2020, the average water supply per person worldwide is expected be a third smaller than now.”
ReSpin Cycle Washer
Concurrently, by 2050 it is estimated that three quarters of the world will live in densely populated urban settings. Appliance designs must respond to increasing consumer needs for spatial efficiency, environmental friendliness, and individualization features. This concept helps to alleviate the potential for water shortages in the near future by reducing the total amount of fresh water consumed by an individual. The global demand for potable water rises at an exponential rate causing great strife and hardship. By making water usage more efficient conflicts can be averted.
ReSpin Cycle
Various appliance related ideation lead to a vanity with a built in steam washer and dryer combination that could use filtered grey water to wash garments. This new type of furniture appliance would allow for a smaller ecological footprint as well make a statement about being modern and chic. The aesthetic and fundamental purpose would reflect its user’s commitment to being a smarter more “green” individual.
Placement of this appliance should be installed into existing bathrooms in apartments and allows for minimal renovation and plumbing work. Most of these concepts revolve around utilizing a personal cistern for collecting and filtering grey water, however a communal system could be used as well for an entire apartment complex.
Design Origins + Refinement
13Process
Concept Highlights-Grey water filtration and storage from the sink and shower.-Steam washing-Doubles as a dryer programmed to run automatically after wash cycle.-Full wash and dry cycle for a small load of clothes in about 20 minutes .-Sleek and modern bathroom style.-Towel racks.-Counter top touch screen interface.-Individual washing settings.-Choice of sink colors and front panel material/design.-Low ecological impact.-Ability to save over 5000 gallons of water consumed per year per person.
- Detergent input
- Towel racks
- Anodized aluminum front face
- Translucent sink with custom color

Plastic is recyclable.
These Labels- are not.
21Problem & Process
The Dr. Enuf beverage sought to re-brand itself with new graphics and bottle designs. As an interdisciplin-ary project, groups of industrial and graphic designers developed concepts for their current market and expand into other potential markets. The main focus was to promote the brand as well as environmental awareness by creating a reward system that encourag-es the complete removal of the label before recycling.
