About Magpie Siny Fitahirizana Hafanana

Ny Magpie dia siny fitahirizana hafanana natao hampiasaina isan'andro ao an-trano. Misy habe roa ny Magpie: 0,95 litatra sy 1,6 litatra. Ny vatany dia vita amin'ny akora azo antoka ho an'ny sakafo ary ny ao anatiny dia vita amin'ny fitaratra, izay mitazona ny rano fisotro ho azo antoka sy tsy misy sisa maloto. Ny fizotra fanesorana rivotra (vacuum) dia manohana ny fitazonana ny hafanana hatramin'ny 48 ora. Ny vavan'ny siny dia manaraka ny endriky ny vavan'ny vorona ary miondrika kely miakatra mba tsy hitete. Misy vorona volamena mipetraka eo ambonin'ny saronany, ary loko efatra no atolotra: fotsy, volomboasary, mavokely ary maitso. Ny endriny dia misarika ny saina amin'ny fiarovana ny vorona.

Production Technology: Food grade body material and glass liner is safe, anti-bacterial and residue-proof. Color options are linked to different moods. The gold bird bears the ornamental value and is more fit to modern home. The food grade body material is safe, anti-bacterial and residue-proof and guards the safety of drinking water. Backed by German insulation liner technology, the lining material is stable and heat-resistant. Coupled with the vacuumizing process, the jug guarantees up to 48 hours of insulation. Color options are linked to different moods, so we designed four color options - white, orange, pink and green. The gold bird appearing on the lid bears the ornamental value which is perceived not boring, but more light-hearted.
Design Challenge: How to make a trade-off between function and aesthetics is considered the biggest challenge in design. The designer disassembled the spout, body and handle, analyzed these components, conceived and recombined them by function and purpose of use, until a unique look was shaped. The ergonomic design guarantees its ease-of-use feature.
Research: In the early stage of design, we interviewed many families and identified their pain points of using commercially available thermos. We thought over how to avoid these pain points and deliver user-friendly experience in the design process. In view of the vital significance of food safety, we examined the material differences between shell and liner and finalized the best solution.
Inspiration: Around the world, almost all birds have been protected. Magpies have been loved by Chinese people since ancient times and are also called as the bird of sending good news, a symbol of good luck. The magpie shape is expected to become a part of the design elements of thermo jug for daily use, which not only narrows the distance to consumers and confers a good wish, but also draws public attention to "harmony between humans and birds" and eases harm to birds.
Project Duration: The “Magpie Thermo Jug” project kicked off in Shanghai in December 2020. With efforts made over six months, the project deliverable was presented in July 2021 and made its debut at the China Daily-use Articles Trade Fair in that month.
Operation Flow: The spout features the bionic design of beak with a slight upward gesture to prevent water from dripping down the wall of spout when pouring. Soft curves wrapped around the body visually stretch out. In whichever size, user can push the switch and pour water with one hand, and adjust the center of gravity by moving arm, easing the pressure on the wrist and making pouring easier and effortless.
