The Michael Jordan of Washing Machines

Translate Into:

Sometimes menial domestic tasks can be so boring for us afflicted with short attention spans. From doing the dishes, to cleaning out the refrigerator off all that rotting take-out, these tasks are not difficult to accomplish, just boring as sin to do. It was that need to liven up these chores that inspired the “Tian Chi” Chinese Washing Machine by Carlo Casagrande & Yu Wenhou Ben for CANDY Group and BIC LaFucina. Meticulously sculpted with a top loading trap door, this washing machine/basketball hoop, is designed for slam dunking dirty denim and perfecting your three-point shot without ever interrupting the wash cycle. Now could someone please design a way to sweep the floor while improving my golf swing?

Designer: Carlo Casagrande & Yu Wenhou Ben
