In 2005, the Design Lab award went to Airwash (Singapore), a waterless washing unit that uses negative ions, compressed air and deodorants to clean clothes, while featuring an intuitive, ecological and sleek design.

Airwash, a waterless washing machine for the home of 2020, eliminates the use of detergent and precious water resources, it cleans clothes with pressurized air and negative ions - nature's cleansing agent. Its form is inspired by the waterfall, nature's negative ion generator. Its touch-light interface marries function with emotion, humanizing the often-mechanical experience when handling household appliances. Liberated from the laundry area, Airwash is a symbol of wellness and sophistication, designed for living spaces and focal points in the home.
