About Quiett Piano cottura a induzione
Quiett è un piano cottura a induzione modulare che trasmette le ricette dallo smartphone sulla propria superficie. Il modulo principale ospita una zona di cottura e un touch screen che si illumina sotto il liscio piano in vetro. Lo schermo del telefono può essere proiettato sul piano cottura tramite Bluetooth, così da poter seguire ricette e video di cucina con le mani libere. Moduli aggiuntivi si agganciano nella parte superiore o sul lato sinistro, trattenuti da magneti che trasferiscono anche l'alimentazione dal modulo principale. Un LED sul bordo arrotondato cambia colore in base al livello di calore. Il corpo è realizzato in alluminio e vetro nero.

- Production Technology
- Quiett uses a streaming system between the cooktop and your phone. The main technology of Quiett is an induction system which is safe, easy to use and clean. Most importantly, it saves more energy than the other gas or electric cooktops by heating the content faster. Quiett has a soft aluminum on the bottom and black glass for the top of the body.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge that was faced while designing Quiett was AI technology. AI system was initially embedded in this product to help the cooking process to users, but it has been removed to reduce the manufacturing cost to fulfill the target users. Instead of AI, the streaming system of the phone was used to improve the cooking experiences to the users. Also, the form development was another challenging part which had to be competitive enough to other induction cooktops in the market. In the end, the form ended up with a simple and sleek look to give a modern and unique design.
- Research
- The research question was How AI services could be applied into the home appliances to create a smart home and accelerate the development of AI technologies for future generations? Through the preliminary and secondary research, data was collected and analyzed to discover the right insights. The main user research came into the conclusion that they have a lot of difficulties while cooking without any help of cooking videos or recipes. Interviews with both electrical and mechanical engineers were able to provide valuable resources and solid knowledge in regard to the feasibility of this concept.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration for the design came from the students who are having a hard time cooking new recipes and people who live in small apartments. Students tend to cook the same dishes to save time and for convenience. A lot of students think cooking as another work which gives them a lack of nutrition for their health but with the help of the digital technologies of today, Quiett gives the users a modern and unique cooking experiences. Given that needs, Quiett aims to help the demographic cook on their own and make the modern cooking lessons even more convenient.
- Project Duration
- The project started in August 2017 in The Design School at Arizona State University in the United States and ended in December 2017.
- Operation Flow
- The user can simply sync the screen of the phone by connecting Quiett with Bluetooth and play their favorite cooking videos or recipes on the surface while cooking. When the user needs more than one burner, they can simply attach another Quiett that has two burners on the top or left of the main board. Magnetic power keeps two cooktops connected and transfers electricity from the main board to other boards. The main board controls the modular units when they are connected. The color of the LED on the round edge changes depending on the level of the heat.
