Production Technology
The product has elegant and simple appearance and dependable design. Its main color is highlighted by its black crystal glass and silver stainless steel, which embodies Chinese people's penchant for simplicity and staidness. Its dimensions are ergonomically designed to enable the most comfortable cooking space possible.
Design Challenge
In Chinese cuisine, there are 26 cooking methods to make the best taste of food. However, as the kitchen area increasingly shrinks and the modern family kitchen is popularized, it is difficult to use Chinese cooking methods in the kitchen. To solve this problem, this product needed to be designed to be modern and suitable for Chinese use, and this was the difficult part of the design.
Research
It is designed with a central symmetrical aesthetic, with perfect symmetry between left and right, reflecting a hint of tranquility, which fits perfectly with the Chinese pursuit of introspection and simplicity. The body dimensions are designed with reference to ergonomics, creating a comfortable space for cooking.

In China, the colour black is similar to iron and has been used since ancient times to symbolise "rigidity and perseverance". The choice of black crystal glass as the main colour reflects the Chinese attitude of calmness and restraint and a strong will to live.
Inspiration
In Chinese cuisine, there are 26 cooking methods to make the best taste of food. However, as the kitchen area increasingly shrinks and the modern family kitchen is popularized, it is difficult to use Chinese cooking methods in the kitchen.
Project Duration

Operation Flow
