The Design

About Almia Airfryer

Almia er en multifunksjonell airfryer designet for benkeplatetilberedning og servering ved bordet. En integrert gryte i stil med en støpejernsgryte holder maten under tilberedningen og kan bæres direkte til middagsbordet. Den avrundede formen forener kurven og hovedhuset i én sammenhengende form, og overflatene har en myk matt finish. Et enkelt grensesnitt lar brukeren sveipe for å velge mellom lufttørking, baking eller dehydrering, stille inn tid og temperatur, og trykke for å starte. Almia er ment å passe like godt i hjemmets interiør som i kjøkkenbruk.

Design Challenge: Ideating around the very build of the airfryer to create a design form that harmoniously blending the basket and main body took the most consideration. What curves, form continuity, and shape can be most effective were constant questions?
Research: After creating a competitor analysis chart with over 50 air fryers within the market, I defined their strengths, concerns, and flaws of the features. Two Venn diagrams were create to define the forms and features within those air fryers. One that overlapped "Microwave", "Basket" and "Toaster Oven" forms and one that overlapped "Airfryer", "Pressure Cooker", and "Oven" centered features. Using that quantitative data, I performed secondary research to understand drivers and restraints as well.
Inspiration: While airfryers are growing rapidly in customer ownership as one of the highest trending kitchen appliances, the function and aesthetics have been stagnant with industrial and metal forward materials. With research into the competitive market and user current sensibilities, ALMIA serves as advancement to the to the current architecture of Airfryer and complements ones interior design sense.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2023 and finished in April 2024 in Phoenix, AZ
Operation Flow: After turning on ALMIA, simply swipe to your preferred cooking setting whether it'd be airfry, bake, or dehydrate, pick the time and temperature for your meal, and press to start. After your meal is prepared, simple bring the pot from the airfryer instantly to the table fore your to enjoy
