About Almia Airfryer

Almia är en multifunktionell luftfritös designad för matlagning på bänkskivan och servering vid bordet. En integrerad gryta i stil med en gjutjärnsgryta håller maten under tillagningen och kan bäras direkt till middagsbordet. Den rundade formen förenar korgen och huvudhöljet till en sammanhängande form, och ytorna har en mjuk matt finish. Ett enkelt gränssnitt låter användaren svepa för att välja luftfritering, bakning eller torkning, ställa in tid och temperatur, och trycka för att starta. Almia är tänkt att passa både hemmiljöer och köksanvändning.

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
