Featured Project : Eclipse Vacuum
This vacuum cleaner concept for the Electrolux brand looks new and modern with a hint of retro flair. The form delivers directly to function, avoiding any superfluous appendages and attachments. Eclipse's simple cylindrical body is lightweight and effortlessly follows you around as you clean. The side panels open up to reveal inner components and vacuum attachments. Andershed's goal for this project was to make vacuuming a more enjoyable experience as opposed to a tedious chore.

I like the simplicity if the form and the function. The only question I have is, have you consider this product being used in a woodshop?
This looks almost exactly like IDEO's Hoover "Concept Q" vacuum from page 115 of "IDEO Masters of Innovation" (2001). Uncanny.
yes! looks exactely like IDEO conecpt Q. in fact i was surprised core77 put it up there since it seems such a blatant copy. of a much better product. also the modelling looks very plain and cubist almost, don't know if intentional, but definetely not as good as the orginal from 1999
