URZZA
Appliance Design
Duration : 1 months
2025
This project focused on redesigning a kitchen appliance to improve usability, ergonomics, stability, and overall user experience through a more thoughtful and functional design.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
A modern reimagining of the traditional mixer grinder, designed to meet the evolving needs of Indian kitchens - combining efficiency, versatility, and sleek aesthetics for a seamless cooking experience.
RSEARCH OUTLINE
-
Difficult to clean - Food gets trapped in blades and crevices; sharp edges and poor access discourage proper cleaning.
-
Overheating - Inadequate ventilation causes motor and jar heating during heavy use.
-
Unstable during use - Mixers wobble or shift due to poor or missing suction bases.
-
Noisy operation - High sound levels disturb users, especially in small homes or early hours.
-
Poor ergonomics - Hard-to-open lids, awkward grips, and heavy jars make handling difficult, particularly for elderly users.
-
Repetitive aesthetics - Similar black and silver designs with little innovation and unclear visual identity.
TARGET AUDIENCE
-
This product is ideal for new homeowners setting up their kitchens and looking for space-saving, efficient solutions.
-
At the same time, it appeals to existing users who already own multiple appliances - many of whom expressed willingness to switch to this single all-in-one machine for its convenience, sleekness, and reduced clutter.
