Garment-Separating Washing Machines

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Conceptual 'Split Drum' Washing Machine is Efficient

— October 24, 2020 — Art & Design
Separating garments when washing them in a laundry machine is commonplace but somewhat inefficient, so the conceptual 'Split Drum' washing machine has bee designed as an appliance that does away with this requirement.

Designed by Wanki Kim, the washing machine features a drum that is split into three sections that can be used for keeping colors, darks and lights separated during wash cycles. The dividers can be easily removed when larger items or loads need to be washed.

The conceptual 'Split Drum' washing machine is efficiency focused, but also inherently stylish with a frosted glass door on the front. This makes the appliance suitable for placement in smaller homes out in the open instead of needing to be hidden away.
Trend Themes
1. Efficient Laundry Appliances - The conceptual 'Split Drum' washing machine offers an efficient solution for separating garments during wash cycles.
2. Multi-sectioned Washing Machines - The 'Split Drum' washing machine introduces the concept of dividing the drum into three sections for better garment organization.
3. Stylish Laundry Appliances - The frosted glass door on the 'Split Drum' washing machine adds a stylish element to laundry appliances, appealing to consumers with smaller homes.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliance Manufacturing - The efficient and innovative design of the 'Split Drum' washing machine presents an opportunity for home appliance manufacturers to create more streamlined laundry appliances.
2. Laundry Services - Laundry service providers can capitalize on the multi-sectioned washing machine trend, offering a more efficient and organized laundry experience for customers.
3. Interior Design - The stylish design of the 'Split Drum' washing machine opens up opportunities for interior designers to incorporate these appliances as fashionable elements in smaller homes.
