TASK
Puplic devices should be intuitive and easy to use.
Especially copying machines are often highly complex
and hard to understand for non-experts.
Our incentive was to develop a new copying
machine with updated technologies and a simple form
language which guides users with different
proficiencies through the copying process.

The bathroom is the area for body care. it is a living,
ritualistic space and a room for healthiness too.
It needs to adapt to different situations and fulfill various functions.

MARKET SITUATION
You can find a wide but differentiated range
of products on the market. Although both
products are interdependant, there isn‘t any
product relation between them.
51. THE MAIN PROBLEMS ARE:
• seperate storage
• weight/ transport
• placement/ positioning
• cable length
• (temperature/steam) settings
• water refill
• cooling/ heating

RESEARCH
Visually, ironboards don‘t fit in the living
room context and the complex handling is time
basic premise_almost everybody dislikes ironing intensive and brings too much restrictions with it.
