Industrial Design
Abstract
This industrial design project is
focusing on the area of kitchen
appliances and its relationship to the
environmental issues of today.

The reason why we started to work in
this field was because we wanted to
work towards sustainability in an area
where it was not a common thing -
and we immediately chose electronic
devices. You rarely see an ecological
X-box or a repairable computer. We
chose kitchen appliances because it’s
a mature product range - they don’t

To be able to do this we found
several design methods showing how
to include sustainability in a design
process. This helped us to create a
good design process and to make
a result we are proud of. Our main
goal was to reach three aspects:
design for disassembly, circular
economy and timeless design.

The result is a series of kitchen
appliances which are easily repaired
and are all using the same cable. Our
main focus was on the toaster. (Less)
