Why couldn´t it be possible to hide all technical looking parts when they are not in use?

Solution

90 % of day time the user doesn´t need any handle or button of the washing machine. So why couldn´t it be possible to hide all technical looking parts when they are not in use? Instead of the user can configurate the three displays with uploaded pictures, messages or status reviews like he wants. The device should have two situations. In the first status (90 Percent of the time) it looks more like a piece of furniture. The other 10 per cent it should look like an expert washing machine. Surface is a concept which can be operated completely by touch interfaces. No button or handle is visible when not needed. Also on top of the door is an additional display, which can show the status, a choosen digital grafic pattern or the direct view into the machine.

Behind the top display the user finds space to store the used clothes or any detergents.
