Who knew that a household cleaning tool could be such a compelling art star?
Sure, we are thankful that the internet has brought us amazing videos of babies, kittens and even grandpas dancing to Lady Gaga. But today we are grateful for Electrolux. They have brought us the most exciting vacuum video we've ever seen -- and possibly the only vacuum video we've ever seen -- (kittens riding Roombas aside). While that may sound like no big feat, wait until you see this baby.
The vacuum, released in April, is the newest Ergorapido from Electrolux. (And available everywhere from Target to Lowe's) And the structure you see in there was created by Swedish designer/artist Tobias Allanson (now, also a proud owner of a yellow Ergoradipo).
The video is meant to highlight all the features that earned the vacuum accolades from independent German test institute SLG (like it's intense pick-up). Plus all the goodies like the LED headlight on the double-jointed nozzle, the easy-to-remove hand-held unit and the sleek design. While we recommend watching it a second time to catch all of those fine details -- let your first viewing serve as pure entertainment.
Think we're design geeks for getting all worked up about a vacuum video? Then get a load of the behind-the-scenes video.
