Giradora foot-powered

alex cabunoc and ji a you based in los angeles have developed ‘giradora’, a human-powered washer and spin dryer which has been designed to increase the efficiency and experience of washing clothes in areas which do not have access to running water. the project evolved while the two were students at the art center college of design where they were challenged
by a south american NGO to create a product as part of their ‘safe agua peru’ – a project that alleviates water poverty in the slums of lima, peru.
