apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

It's hard not to compare this design by Djordje Zivanovic to the iPhone. From a design point of view, it looks interesting. It's nice to see the whole box-like machine replaced by something spherical, but in the end, does it wash any better? Now that's the important question. Since this is only a concept, there isn't much information available on this. However, we've found a few interesting tidbits about the Aquarium.

One thing is for sure, it sure looks better. However, washing machines are usually kept far away from prying eyes, so making one look cool doesn't really make much sense. The designer says that its innovative since it's only composed of two spheres, one inside the other. The spheres rotate in different axes, so looking at it can be mesmerizing. It's mentioned that this washing machine is called Aquarium because it doesn't need a water tap, meaning that you have to refill it periodically and it can be placed in the middle of your living room, if you find the movements of the spheres really interesting.
