Jury's Evaluation

A typical Japanese drum-type washing machine is often made of steel on the sides and back and plastic on the front. After reviewing this, steel was also used on the front, reducing the number of large plastic parts and consequently successfully reducing the number of internal steel parts used to support the structure. It shows the possibility of improving sustainability by using other suitable materials. The design is the result of rebuilding the product from the ground up without adopting convention.
