About Wave パーソナルブレンダー

Waveは、オフィスや車内など、自宅を離れた場所で使用できるポータブルなパーソナルブレンダーです。大型のウォーターボトルほどのコンパクトな本体に、ブレンド機構のすべてを収めています。シェルは射出成形されたABS樹脂、ブレードはステンレススチール、窓部分は強化ガラスを採用。流れるようなパターンが施されたシリコン成形のカバーは、しっかりとしたグリップ感を生み出すとともに、ガラスに残った飛沫を目立たなくします。小さな透明窓からは、ブレンドの進み具合を確認できます。ブラシレスモーター、充電式バッテリー、USB充電プラグを搭載しています。

Design Challenge: The challenge with this project was to come up with a product that would be pleasant for the user while maintaining the quality of the blender. Designing a pattern makes it enjoyable for the user while providing a better grip was a challenge of this project
Research: People like to carry their personal blender with them for a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, the aesthetic aspect was considered in order to create a small personal blender when you would like to drink in your office or in the car. In order to hide the unorganized material remaining on the glass of the blender, and to create an aesthetic experience for the user, the silicone pattern is designed to provide a sure grip for the user. In addition, a small transparent window is available to check on its progress
Inspiration: With the design of the Wave Blender we chose to look at a future market where users adopt a more nomadic and remote lifestyle. This device integrates the entire mechanism into a compact package, the size of a large water bottle, allowing the user to bring the entire blending experience with them. Considering the current trends, we move into more expressive ambiance. The pattern in the exterior silicone provides increased grip. In addition, the exterior is inspired by the flow of the material as it forms.

Operation Flow: The companion app empowers you to express yourself by helping you choose a beautifully colored beverage to suit your mood.
