About Almia Airfryer

Ang Almia ay isang multifunction na air fryer na dinisenyo para sa pagluluto sa countertop at pagsisilbi sa hapag-kainan. Ang integrated na palayok na istilong Dutch oven ay naghahawak sa pagkain habang niluluto at maaaring dalhin nang direkta sa hapag-kainan. Ang bilog na hugis ng katawan nito ay pinagsasama ang basket at pangunahing housing sa iisang tuloy-tuloy na anyo, at ang mga ibabaw nito ay may malambot na matte finish. Sa pamamagitan ng simpleng interface, maaaring mag-swipe ang gumagamit upang piliin ang air frying, paghurno, o pagpapatuyo, itakda ang oras at temperatura, at pindutin upang simulan ang pagluluto. Ang Almia ay idinisenyo upang umangkop sa disenyo ng tahanan gayundin sa gamit sa kusina.

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
