About Glacier Mīkini Holoi Meaʻai
He mīkini holoi meaʻai ʻo Glacier no nā lumi kuke home. Wehe ʻo Glacier i nā koena lāʻau pepehi pōkā, metala kaumaha, mea hoʻomomona lepo, a me nā bakuria me kahi mea hana ʻiona wai hydroxyl. Hana ʻia ke kino ma o ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i loko o ka ABS a me PC, a hāʻawi kekahi wahi ākea ʻike ʻia i ke ʻano papa like ʻole i ka mīkini. Hoʻomanaʻo nā ana ʻano like ʻole a me nā kukui hōʻike ākea i kahi glacier kūlohelohe a hōʻike i ka maʻemaʻe a me ke kūpaʻa. Ma ka papa hoʻokele nui ma ke alo, aia nā pihi no ka ʻiʻo, ka hua ʻai, a me nā mea kanu, no laila e waiho ʻia ka meaʻai i loko a hoʻokahi hoʻopā e hoʻomaka ai i ka holoi ʻana.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Glacier is a kitchen food cleaner that effectively removes pesticide residuals, heavy metal, fertilizer and bacteria. The design purpose of Glacier is to express extraordinary cleanliness and high quality life attitude. The machine utilizes abstract polygons and large scale instruction lights to build a picture of natural glacier that embodies purity and steadiness. Usage of large area of transparent PC material brings rich layering and overall attractiveness to the machine body.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Black or white body. Dimension: 305mm x 410mm x 285mm
- Tags
- food, cleaner, washer, iceberg, glacier
- Production Technology
- Glacier applies ABS and PC injection modeling. It contains hydroxyl water ion generator that degrade harmful substances in food.
- Design Challenge
- Glacier needs to utilize minimalist shapes to convey a neat metaphor that represent its core function of cleaning, and thus exhibit an attitude for high quality life.
- Research
- The technology of degrading harmful substance on food has not been widely known or accepted by major population. Instead of educating potential users with academic terms and specification, Glacier relies more upon dedicated overall design to boost its first image and captivation.
- Inspiration
- From our observation, target users who care about food cleanliness are also prone to life quality pursuance. Thus we build the machine's main body with abstract iceberg polygons to metaphorize the cold, clean and clear glacier that represent extreme purity. Together with the rich layer design, We enable Glacier to touch user's subconsciousness for stainlessness and to visually facilitate user's imagination for quality life.
- Project Duration
- The project started in August 2020 in Beijing and finished in December 2020 in Shenzhen, China
- Operation Flow
- A large control panel is installed on front side of Glacier with bottoms indicating "meat", "fruits", "vegetables" and etc. User need only put food into the machine and touch the botton, then operate easily with instructions.
