Production Technology: All plastic parts are made from recycled material. Special machines and application jigs have been designed and produced for each part for the application of hot stamping on it. We believe that the widespread use of this process, which is pioneered by Arnica, requires high know-how, will open a new horizon in the small household appliances sector.
Design Challenge: One creative challenge of this cordless vacuum cleaner is to create a model that not only cleans effectively, but also adds an element of fun and excitement to the cleaning process, with a sleek and stylish look that appeals to consumers who value aesthetics as well as functionality. To achieve that we used hot foil process instead of sheet metal to increase cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability.Hot foiling can be a more cost-effective production method as it requires less material waste and can be done at higher speeds. This can lead to lower production costs and potentially lower retail prices for consumers.It is also environmentally friendly manufacturing process compared to sheet metal production, as it can produce less scrap material and require less energy consumption. But to be able to create surfaces suitable for hot foil process was the most challenging part because of the process limitations .
Research: We have made several test and researches in cordless cyclonic vacuums which is aimed at improving the cleaning experience for consumers by developing more powerful, efficient, and user-friendly devices.We focused on improving the efficiency and performance as well as developing new technologies to enhance the functionality such as to extend battery life,improve filtration efficiency ,dust pick up performance, ergonomics and usability. We had run hundreds of tests with hundreds of 3d prototypes before we reach the final performance and look.
Inspiration: Advancements in battery technology have made it possible for cordless vacuums to provide powerful suction and longer battery life, making them a more practical choice for everyday cleaning needs. As people's lives become busier, the portability and convenience of cordless vacuum cleaners have made them an increasingly popular choice for busy households looking for efficient and effective cleaning solutions. Thats why Solara was born to fulfill the need of a powerful and practical device with low cost but with a high end look.
Project Duration: İstanbul Turkey
Started in June 2021, Serial production December 2022
Operation Flow: The operation flow of Solara is designed to be simple and intuitive, with a focus on convenience and ease of use.The 1,4 dustbin which has a 0,7lt dust capacity contains 9 step highly effective cyclonic filtration and can capture even the smallest particles, making it ideal for those with allergies.28,8 V battery offers 45 min of continuous cleaning time. With the ability to detach the vacuum from the stick, you can quickly switch between cleaning floors, upholstery, and other surfaces with customized attachments. Thanks to the patent pending charging dock that can be placed on wall or on the floor , it can also be used as an accessory holder that provides a convenient location to store your vacuum cleaner's cleaning heads, brushes, and other attachments.
