Future in motion...
I'm a very great fan of prospective sci-fi litterature, where authors keen at science and sociology, imagine what our futures could be and how Earth and our world as we know it could be shaped.
The 2010 Electrolux Design Lab contest does echo those authors; except that it's not sci-fi anymore but real design research by clever prospective graduating students from all over the world (ok some concepts may still be quite close to sci-fi; still Electrolux had judged them interesting enough to showcase them). This year brief was the following:
"The 2nd Space Age
Electrolux Design Lab 2010 invites global undergraduate and graduate industrial design students to create home appliances that consider shrinking domestic spaces. Your ideas will shape how people prepare and store food, wash clothes, and do dishes in the homes of 2050 when 74%* of the world’s population are predicted to live in an urban environment. Growing populations living in concentrated areas dictate a need for greater space efficiency. This year, special consideration will be given to designers that submit a design within the context of a range or suite of solutions/appliances. Your design ideas should address key consumer requirements; being green, adaptive to time and space, and allowing for individualization."

I'm a French girl in her thirties, having lived in Sydney, Australia, and Copenhagen, Denmark, those last years now back home.
During four years, I've worked as a Project Manager & Consultant in Corporate Branding in a leading branding & design agency. I was part of a fantastic team dedicated to the AIR FRANCE KLM brand. That's where I've done my basic training. That's where I've begun working with passion.
Living abroad and meeting creative professionals from the whole world through the Creative Professionals Worldwide club I set up, my eyes wide-opened, passion has continued to grow unceasingly.I'm living in this industry, but this industry is also living in me: more than ever curiosity has become my key feature. The whole world around us is inspiring: just stop middle of the street, look around, observe the people, the billboards, the newspapers, the objects and start making connexions between things, start being creative. I can't help doing so. That's why I've become such a blogger.
