About Glacier 食洗浄機(フードウォッシャー)

Glacierは、家庭のキッチン向けに開発されたフードウォッシャーです。ヒドロキシルラジカル水イオン発生装置により、残留農薬、重金属、化学肥料、細菌を除去します。本体はABSおよびPCの射出成形によって製造され、広い透明部分が本体に重層的な表情を与えています。抽象的な多面体のフォルムと大きなインジケーターライトは自然の氷河を思わせ、清浄さと安定感を印象づけます。前面の大型コントロールパネルには肉類・果物・野菜それぞれのボタンを配置し、食材を入れてワンタッチで洗浄を開始できます。

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.
