Abstract
At the time for the starting point of this master
thesis, the Electrolux Healthy Home department where at a high extent looking into how a system of products that could communicate with one
another could give the user a better experience
in the home. Products that where looked into for coupling where for example an air purifier with
a robotic vacuum-cleaner, maybe also coupled
with any other product that could give the cus-
tomer a better experience in the experience area “well-being”.
This project aims to investigate how the expe-
rience of the future smart home could look like
in relation to sleep. What does perfect sleep
mean to people and how could Electrolux – with their air and water products – find a system (or

At the time for the starting point of this master

tomer a better experience in the experience area “well-being”.
This project aims to investigate how the expe-
rience of the future smart home could look like
in relation to sleep. What does perfect sleep
mean to people and how could Electrolux – with their air and water products – find a system (or
product) that could help people sleep as well as possible. What is needed for a perfect night’s
sleep? The project is investigating the whole
experience of sleep, falling asleep, sleeping and waking up from different perspectives but with an emphasise on user needs.

I would like to thank my supervisor at Electrolux, Martin Alexanderson, and all of the other col-
leagues at the Healthy Home department, for the great guidance and support during my time as
a master thesis worker at Electrolux. A special
thank you to Kim Michel for the great support
during the contact with the model maker used in the realization of the product.
I would also like to express my gratitude towards the whole design department for insights and
guidance, in particular Sofia Andreasson for
sharing trend insights, Amanda Molina Zop-
pas from the engineering department for all the
support, Mathilda Velevska for the consumer
insights from the marketing department, Hanna Lundén for the positive input and Ebba Heden-
blad for the great discussions and user experi-
ence insights.
Finally a warm thank you to my teachers from
the School of Industrial Design in Lund, who
despite the distance has been of great help
during this master thesis. My supervisor, Char-
lotte Sjödell, who always brings light and clarity, my examiner, Claus-Christian Eckhardt for great support and Jasjit Singh who gave me guidance when I needed it the most.
