Development of a conceptual space smart kitchen mixer, with focus on user centered design
To fill the gap of a smart kitchen mixers in the market we refer to as Urban compacy living, we brough the concept of a compact wall mounted and multi-functional mixer back to life.
Based on an old product, with a brilliant mechanical design, we developed a concept for a space smart kitchen mixer - designed to offer the best user experice.

We asked ourselves;
1. Is there a need for this product?
2. What is the market segment?
3. Who is the target customer?
4. What are customer’s real needs?
Results from research;
1. Yes, there is a rising demand
2. Market segment is Urban Compact Living
3. The target customer is the Y-generation
4. The real customer needs are; more time, inspiration & space
The typical user is a small urban household from the y-generation. They are busy, constantly connected, have many interests and are into quick, healthy meals on
the go - as well as the latest gourmet trends.

The first sketches of the final design
Some great features of the final design;- One movement & no tools to mount it ovn the wall.
- Electrolux flow line sweeps around the body
- Simple user interface
- Digital display shows through the material
- Tactile rotary switch gives feedback
- Compact enough to fit in a kitchen drawer
- Build in scale and therometer
- Timer automatically counts up the time
- Built-in induction heater
- Special spatula for folding the dough

Use the mounting plate as a knife magnet when the
machine is put away
To mount the machine; Lift it and slide it on to the
wall mounted plate

Safe Headphones
Urbanears always puts the users first and therefor asked us;
“How can we prevent hearing loss when using headphones - without comprimising the audio quality?
Me

Analysis;
The Info App- instant feedback - check listening pattern- information on hearing loss & tinitus
The Remote- instant feedback - check listening pattern- information on hearing loss & tinitus- remote instructions
The Folder- simple and fun information- the first thing found when unboxing
Concept; hAPPyRE:mote +fold:EAR +
Acoustics - encourage the user to experience the sound higher than it is.
Isolation - attenuation of ambient background noise.
Noise Cancelling - Frequency dependence of noise reduction.
Behavior modification - motivating the user to adjust the volume.Active feedback - Direct indication to the user of the estimated sound pressure levels.Automatic reduction - systems that reduce the noise level after a certain exposure.
In the end, it ought to be the user’s desire to not expose themselves to higher noise level than what is harmful.
- So, How can we help them?
Ideation;
We want to prevent hearing damage without restricting the user in any way, and research shows that measuring the ear’s noise exposure is the only way to do so....
... which is highly difficult because of all the fac-tors that affect our hearing. The problems are to measure accurately and to know when it’s harmful.
The concept will be based on these two ways of helping the headphone users

At the end of the ideation phase we chose to work
with behavior innovation & active feedback
A dot method is used among the team members to choose the final design
Safe Headphones

1.This concept provides the users with information and opportunity for direct feedback, which can influence the user’s behavior before, during, and after listening, without limiting the product.
1. fold:EAR - Enlighten user g wanna change
2. RE:mote - Direct control g can change
3. hAPPy - Instant feedback g have changed

2-Day Project - Design FacilitationWe got to rebuild and furnish an old mechanics area to get a flexible and creative design facility for photograhpy, design lectures, sketching classes and a chill area .

The bowl has a rubber plate in the bottom to seperate water from the sallad, a plastic cutting board with a hole on one side to chop vegitables into the bowl and a tightly fitting lid in stainless steel to help everything stay fresh.
This twisted & gracefully chaped Orrefors glass bowl
is also a smart & functional sallad bowl.
When profile professinoals from new wave wanted to give Norbotten’s employees the christmas of 2011. They gave us two limits; It had to be loved by everyone, and be sold for no more than 450 Sek
