About Nano Airy Straight Iron Volo

Ny vy manitsy mahamay Nano dia mampifangaro ireo fitaovana misy coating nano-seramika miaraka amin'ny teknolojia vy ratsy mahomby, izay mitondra volo malefaka sy ho tsara endrika haingana. Misaotra ny tsindrona magnetika eo an-tampon'ny satroka sy vatana, mihodina mandeha ho azy ny fitaovana rehefa mihidy ny cap, izay azo antoka hitondra azy. Ny vatana mihetsika miaraka amin'ny famoronana USB tsy afaka rechargeable dia mora mitahiry ao anaty kitapo ary mitondra, manampy ireo vehivavy hihazona taovolony kanto amin'ny fotoana rehetra, na aiza na aiza. Ny tetika loko fotsy-mavokely dia mampindrana ilay fitaovana ho toetran'ny vehivavy.

Tags: Small, Lightweight, Keep smooth texture, soft shiny and beautiful, straight Iron, Hair styling, negative ion function
Production Technology: First, I expressed handwritten designs, then expressed them digitally, examined all the materials, various sizes, and completed the design data.
Next, I created a mockup based on design data, then carried out concrete verification. Finally, the main material I used for the appearance is heat resistant resin that can withstand high temperatures of 200 degrees Celsius. I gave design data and samples to the production factory and mass-produced.
Design Challenge: I tried hard to balance the function with size and weight of straight iron by a lot of experiments.For making a straight iron which easy to carry and straighten hair beautifully everywhere, I used a lot of creativity to select materials for the texture.In order to reproduce the color which I imaged, I examined the painting many times.
Research: By the time I completed this product, I studied hundreds of straight irons that were released. For my research I have visited not only Japan but also other foreign countries, Hong Kong, Korea, London, Shanghai, Taipei, etc. to see the products. At the same time, I also studied the design characteristics required by women for straight irons. The main research theme is design, size, material, painting, function. Based on this huge amount of research data, I completed this design.
Inspiration: Many working Japanese women are busy in the morning, and the time spent on hair care is limited. Although the hair is straightened well in the morning, it returned to no-shiny curls in the evening. I'd liked to design a product which can create a comfortable and elegant time for them to keep beautiful hairstyle anytime, anywhere. First, I had started thinking about functionality and got some ideas, like the negative iron, smart body, the ease of operation etc. Then, I wanted the product looks like a beautiful pure white pottery inlaid with pink ring. That's why the color of the product is pure matte white and pink gold.
Project Duration: This project began on 2018 at Tokyo, released in Japan in February 2020.
Operation Flow: We plan and propose this product in 2018, complete the design in January 2019, then completed the design data in April 2019 and started manufacturing the mold. Mass production began in December 2019, and it was released in February 2020.
