- 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.
