Core77

simplehuman's calling all students (currently enrolled in a NASAD-accredited school) who have big ideas on how to simplify household chores. The goal is to design a new household product that improves any basic household task, and if you can swing it, a product that actually makes chores fun. Entries will be judged based on utility, efficiency, innovation, research, and aesthetics.

Maybe you would, if there was a way to make doing the dishes easier, faster, and maybe even fun. That's why we want you to help us develop new and innovative tools to simplify our daily household chores - anything from organizing clutter to doing the laundry. Whether it's a concept or something we can introduce in a future product line, share your ideas for making life at home more efficient by entering the simple solutions design competition.
