Hot Stuff - Kitchen appliances for induction stove tops
(2014) In Diploma work IDE820 20142Industrial Design
- Abstract
- The original intention of this project was to explore electronic kitchenware, remove the motor of the individual gadget and build a series of hand-cranked versions of the gadgets. After initial interviews and research into food, kitchen architecture, kitchenware, trends and time measurement statistics, it became clear that induction was a technology on the rise and is quickly moving into modern kitchens and homes.
After more extensive research into the field of induction technology, the idea grew to use induction as means for creating rotation by using magnets. Together with an electrical engineer, a theory was created about how to be alter the existing technical construction of an induction cook top to make the magnetic rotation work.

After this, the focus of the project turned to re-designing smaller kitchen appliances (kettle, juicer, whisk and toaster) into inert objects with existing functions kept in mind.
The project’s end result was the conceptual design of cordless kitchen appliances that theoretically would work on a slightly changed induction stove top.
At the time when the project became public, it generated positive reactions by giving a whole new experience of both use and function of these household staple appliances, due to the combination of existing technology and common kitchen appliances. (Less)
