Xilonen - 2010

Project for the Electrolux contest 2010

Planting seeds… expanding harmony / harvesting balance

Xilonen household atmosphere, provides the user vital elements to grow from basic functional home appliances to a self-sufficient organism, environmentally committed, where the evolving agent is the user it-self. Like the breeder plants a seed, fertilizes it and picks the harvest, the user settles the appliance, grows it and achieves physical, mental, familiar and collective balance.

Xilonen is composed of 6 appliance seeds: the Wellness Canaliser, the Meal Guider, the Ease Dinning, the Out-fit Renewer, the Energy Fields and the Comm’ Impulser. Seeds perform 3 vital functions: Gathering-Feeding, Processing and Refreshing. Seeds can be expanded thanks to acquirable growers: Planning-Managing, Recognizing-Reacting, Involving and Assisting. The user, like a sower, carefully nourish his seeds with customized applications adapted to his personal life style.
