Here's a small space design we'd like to see make it's way Stateside, the Smeg LBL16RO Washing Machine with sink. The cute pink washer comes equipped with 15 programmed wash cycles, wash load capacity of 5 kg, an LCD display, anti-flood/foaming features, and a 31X33X13 cm ontop of it all, making this our dream small apartment washing machine.
One of these and clothes line for drying would be this renter's dream team. Alas, today I'll be hauling a huge bag of laundry to wash down the street instead, only wishing something as diminutive and cute as the Smeg was sitting in our kitchen area. More details below or at the Smeg site.

Does it have to be pink?
I like the pink, but does it have a matching dryer?
Or maybe air-dry--more eco-friendly! :)

how much is it? (I like the pink just fine :)
...smeg?
I want to marry Smeg and have its little pink retro-inspired babies.
(But if you don't like pink, their stuff usually comes in a variety of delicious colors.)
I have a tiny apartment-sized washer by Haier that hooks up to the sink faucet and has made my life infinitely better (and much cleaner).

They make fancier models and also a dryer that you can plug into a regular outlet. But this skinny model was the only one that would fit my space.
There are actually a lot of small washers and washer/dryer combos.

Adore! But I wish it came in white...
it probably does come in white, Smeg usually comes in several colors
Would NYC coop allow this - thought they didnt?!!!
i love smeg. unfortunately, as with most stuff that looks cool, i think it's about 2-3x as much as a more standard looking equivalent and i'm never able to bring myself to pay the coolness tax.
Ew. Smeg. Bad bad name.
i like this color/style better. however, since i can't have one in my apt. i suppose i can just dream... oh well.
btw... this model displays other colors:

I've dreamed about owning a SMEG for years!! Some day....
since that didn't work simply click on the arrows above on the site it's the cream colored model # LBE16P.
also liked it in the soft pastel blue.
wonder how much this would set one back? smeg appliances are pricey.
I can't believe it's named SMEG. Didn't their marketing people do the footwork?
I *heart* SMEG.
I have the pastel blue fridge.
Their appliances are pretty good.
Super cool, but what is the sink for?
