About Glacier Masini Fufulu Meaʻai
O Glacier o se masini fufulu meaʻai mo umukuka i totonu o fale. E aveesea e Glacier meaʻona vailaʻau faʻasao mea totō, uʻamea mamafa, faʻavaeina meaʻai ma siama e ala i se afi gaosi vai i le hydroxyl ion. O le tino o le masini e faia i le auala injection molding i le ABS ma le PC, ma o se vaega tele e manino e maua ai i le masini se foliga faʻapaleni. O foliga faʻapolygona ma moli faʻailoga lautele e faʻamanatu mai ai se aisa aisa faanatura ma faʻaalia ai le mama ma le mautu. O loʻo iai se laulau pulea tele i luma o loʻo iai ni faamau mo aano manu, fualaʻau aina ma fualaʻau faisua, ma ina ua tuʻuina meaʻai i totonu, e na o le pa'i e tasi e amata ai le faagasologa o le faamamaina.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Glacier is a kitchen food cleaner that effectively removes pesticide residuals, heavy metal, fertilizer and bacteria. The design purpose of Glacier is to express extraordinary cleanliness and high quality life attitude. The machine utilizes abstract polygons and large scale instruction lights to build a picture of natural glacier that embodies purity and steadiness. Usage of large area of transparent PC material brings rich layering and overall attractiveness to the machine body.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Black or white body. Dimension: 305mm x 410mm x 285mm
- Tags
- food, cleaner, washer, iceberg, glacier
- Production Technology
- Glacier applies ABS and PC injection modeling. It contains hydroxyl water ion generator that degrade harmful substances in food.
- Design Challenge
- Glacier needs to utilize minimalist shapes to convey a neat metaphor that represent its core function of cleaning, and thus exhibit an attitude for high quality life.
- Research
- The technology of degrading harmful substance on food has not been widely known or accepted by major population. Instead of educating potential users with academic terms and specification, Glacier relies more upon dedicated overall design to boost its first image and captivation.
- Inspiration
- From our observation, target users who care about food cleanliness are also prone to life quality pursuance. Thus we build the machine's main body with abstract iceberg polygons to metaphorize the cold, clean and clear glacier that represent extreme purity. Together with the rich layer design, We enable Glacier to touch user's subconsciousness for stainlessness and to visually facilitate user's imagination for quality life.
- Project Duration
- The project started in August 2020 in Beijing and finished in December 2020 in Shenzhen, China
- Operation Flow
- A large control panel is installed on front side of Glacier with bottoms indicating "meat", "fruits", "vegetables" and etc. User need only put food into the machine and touch the botton, then operate easily with instructions.
