Could washing, drying and ironing be done simultaneously? With Lupe it could be possible. Lupe is one of the concepts that made its way into the Electrolux Design Lab 2010 semi finalists arena. The device shown above is a hand held machine which implements waterless cleaning. As mentioned before it does clean, dry and iron, all at the same time. It is also equipped with a mechanism ["a translucent body"] which magnifies dirt, grease or spots if any on the garment when in use.

Minimizing the need of separate devices, Lupe does not only save money but space as well. This futuristic washing machine has been conceptualized by Il-seop So.
